WINE MAKING TESTIMONIALS

People are always really excited when they first hear about Crushpad and discover that they can create their own barrel of custom wine, from grape to bottle. That they can live the life of a Napa wine maker and create something totally unique and personal.

But then doubt creeps in and questions pop up.
  • What if I'm new to wine making; will I be in over my head?
  • Will my busy schedule allow for this?
  • How will the finished wine taste; will I be proud to share it with friends and family?
  • Will I really feel part of the wine making experience if I don't live in wine country?

The good news is that over 5,000 wine enthusiasts — who now count themselves as wine makers and Crushpad customers — asked many of those very questions. See what they have to say about their Crushpad wine making experience.


My objective is moving beyond just being a wine aficionado - and becoming a winemaker. Living in Chicago , coupled with a demanding career, creates a challenge. Crushpad helps me accomplish my goal and allows me to take on the role of the winemaker. Crushpad's connections have also provided me with access to prestigious and limited fruit sources that are typically impossible to get.

It's the very best way to make a reasonable amount of wine while living in the city and working long hours.

Living in Japan, it is very difficult to learn about making wine; with Crushpad, I can make my own wine without having the expertise.

I've been seriously interested in wine for about 10 years and making my own wine has been a dream for several years.

Crushpad's expertise has enabled me to realize the dream of making my own wine. They've taken the guesswork out of the buying grapes and given me the flexibility to make wine while living in another location.

We wanted to have a high quality Puccini & Pinetti wine to sell at our restaurant and share with our guests. We also wanted to involve our staff in the winemaking process to increase their knowledge and to get them excited about the product.

We love Crushpad! It has been a great experience. Who knew you could make wine in San Francisco?

Crushpad allows us to be our own winemakers. We made the big decisions and had the confidence because we knew Crushpad had an experienced staff to back us up. We're also very impressed with the grape sources they have.
