KINGS HILL CELLARS

Wine Making Membership

Members have the option of making red or white wine by the barrel, half barrel, or quarter barrel lot (yielding approximately 24, 12 or 6 cases respectively), individually or jointly with up to 4 members. Members may select their grape varietal and vineyard preference (see the vineyard page). Grape growers can use their own grapes.

The membership includes the grapes, winemaking consulting, the use of the equipment for crushing, pressing and racking your wine. The cellar staff will clean all the equipment, store and monitor your wine and provide you with assistance as needed. Our standard packaging (750ml bottles, cartons and high quality corks) is included plus a wine label custom designed by our graphic artist (see the labels page). Your wine will be aged in our barrels and air-conditioned cave. And finally, you will man a state-of-the-art bottling line to cleanly and carefully bottle your wine.

Please contact us to arrange for a visit to the winery. Or call/email me for more pricing, availability and to get on our waiting list to become a member.

Nature determines when the grapes are ripe; therefore the exact crush dates will be announced a week in advance. They will typically fall on Saturdays in September and October.


For Grape Growers: Members have the option of making red wine or Chardonnay (or other barrel-fermented white wine) by the full or half barrel, individually or jointly with up to 4 members. You supply the grapes, and make the wine at our facility. Membership fee includes winemaking consulting, the use of all equipment, as well as the full support of our cellar staff as outlined above.
