In 2009, First Crush will offer three weekend winemaking experiences called Clusters. The dates and varietals for each Cluster has been selected by historical varietal ripening dates. Paso Robles offers unique growing conditions with micro-climates that provide varying ripening times and harvest dates. The vineyards used will be carefully chosen closer to harvest based upon seasonal ripening information.
Each Cluster lends itself to a unique style of winemaking. The winemaking programs have been developed by winemaker Dan Kleck and the wines will be carefully mastered under his direction.
Businesses, wineries, groups or teams may schedule a private First Crush winemaking experience. Please call (805) 434-2772 OR (877) 82-CRUSH for information.
Each First Crush winemaking package includes:
- Two nights luxury hotel accommodations at the Paso Robles Inn or La Bellasera Hotel & Suites*
- Local transportation -- to and from vineyards and winemaker dinners
- Welcome reception
- Continental champagne breakfast and lunch in the vineyard
- Barefoot barrel wine grape stomp
- Winemaker dinner featuring a premiere Paso Robles winery (see weekend information for details)
- Two cases of custom-labeled wine (and all costs associated with the production of wine including fruit, harvest and winemaking processing fees, bottling, labeling and corking).
- Complimentary enrollment to First Crush winemaker Dan Kleck’s Silver Stone wine club and the first three-bottle club shipment
- Opportunities to attend wine evaluation sessions and other educational events
*Packages are available without accommodations.
