Item Description
The winner will receive a Wine Blending Experience for two from Grape Expectations in Henderson.
Come and learn the art and science of wine blending. Become a “Winemaker for a day”. You will learn the history of the region and grapes used in your wine blend. You will participate in the process used by winemakers to create a custom blend, from the proper way to taste and visually analyze wine to participate in creating your very own blend. Following the blending session each guest will take home a bottle of their custom blend with a label of their choice.
What is Grape Expectations?
Grape Expectations is a private client winery whereby individuals or groups make a barrel of wine they have formulated under the guidance of our professional winemaking staff. From grapes to bottles you will learn and experience every step of the winemaking process.
*A barrel of wine yields 240 of the industry standard 750 ml bottles of wine (20 cases of 12 bottles each).
*The process takes approximately nine months from the time the grapes arrive into the winery until it is final bottled after the aging process in 200 liter American oak barrels.
*There are four “hands on” steps where members of your group will complete the necessary tasks to convert the juice from hand-picked grapes into wine.
*Each step will take approximately 1 hour to complete, but the pre and post production activities usually find our winemakers spending two to three hours in the winery social areas enjoying the atmosphere and the camaraderie of other winemakers. Winemakers are encouraged to bring food and wine to enjoy before and after their assigned production time.
