Winemaking is both an art form and science. For our family, it is a daily part of our lives! We are excited to announce that, for the first time, you can be part of the winemaking experience at Doffo Winery.
Fellow wine lovers, through our new Doffo Barrel Club, you can witness the journey of wine from grape to glass. “The Doffo Barrel Club: A winemaking experience” is an opportunity to roll your sleeves up and try your hand at winemaking along side our winemakers Damian & Marcelo Doffo. The Experience begins with the harvest on Sept. 12th, 2015, bright and early, when we will pick roughly a 1/2-ton of grapes, de-stem and pitch the fermentation. Throughout the fermentation you will receive updates on how the wine is progressing all the way through fermentation and into the barrel.
In the spring, the members of the Doffo Barrel club will be invited out to a barrel tasting to sample their wine, as it begins its one year journey in the barrel. A commemorative plaque will proudly be displayed on the front of the barrel in case you ever want to come visit your barrel and show your friends!
In the fall, we will host a bottling party! Each member will bottle and label their very own case of wine. The wine label will include every member’s name.
Starting on September 12th, club members will get the chance to join us for harvest and pick grapes with us. As a Doffo Barrel Club member, you will have the option to stomp the grapes with us. You will also get the chance to bottle with us and taste the wine that you have created.
