Make Your Selection
June

Make Your Selection

By June, you will need to make your wine selection for it to be ready for bottling the following year. Our team will work with you to choose something from our availability. Your down payment will also happen at this time.

Grape Destemming and Pressing
September – October

Grape Destemming and Pressing

The grapes will arrive at our Andreas, PA facility sometime in September or October. These steps are extremely time-sensitive. Our team will notify Private Reserve members when destemming and pressing will occur, but we cannot accommodate any schedule requests.

Wine Aging
December – July

Wine Aging

From December to July of the following year, your wine will age in the barrel you have selected. You may schedule barrel tastings with our team during this time to taste the evolution of your wine.

Blending Session
July

Blending Session

If you have chosen a blended wine, our team will coordinate a blending session with you in July. In this session, the winemakers will have you taste a couple of blends, and you will choose your perfect blended wine.

Wine Bottling
August

Wine Bottling

Bottling usually happens in August (of the year following when your grapes have arrived). If you have chosen custom labels, they will go on at this time too. You can take your wine cases on the same day of bottling.

Make Wine with Cellar Beast

Make it yours

You don’t need a wedding, a business, or even a reason. Private Reserve is for anyone who wants to make a wine that’s entirely their own.

Just because you want your own wine
Build a wine around your palate, put your name on the bottle, and stock your collection with something no one else has. Pour it at dinner, gift a few bottles, save some for later, or keep every last one for yourself. We won’t judge.
Weddings
Your wine on every table, your names on every bottle, and bottles left over to open on anniversaries for years to come.
Milestones worth bottling
A milestone birthday. A retirement. An anniversary. A birth year to open twenty-one years from now. Some moments deserve more than a toast.
Corporate gifting
A custom bottle clients will remember long after the branded pens disappear. Make it yours with custom labels and a wine selected for the occasion.
Restaurants & retail
A wine that’s actually yours. Create a custom bottling for your restaurant, shop, or hospitality program, backed by the same winemaking team behind Cellar Beast.

Frequently Asked Questions

Frequently Asked Questions

How much does it cost?
Depending on the wine variety and the quantity, bottles range from $18 – $25. We offer orders in the following quantities: Quarter of a barrel (70 bottles), Half barrel (140 bottles), Full barrel (280 bottles).
How involved will I be in the process?
Our winemakers will lead the winemaking process to ensure quality, but you may be present at all steps to experience and taste the evolution of your wine.
What if I cannot wait a year for a bulk order of wine?
Due to barrel processing time, the Private Reserve Program can take over a year to deliver your final product. We understand that some customers would like wine sooner, why not join our wine club or take a look at our Custom Label Program for quicker turnaround on larger orders.
Will I be able to schedule the winemaking steps?
Yes, once the wine is in the barrel, our team will work with you to taste your barrel in the winter, schedule a blending session, and bottle your wine. Unfortunately, the beginning steps with the grapes are extremely time-sensitive due to uncontrollable variables. Our team will communicate with you when your grapes will be destemmed and pressed; however, we can not accommodate your scheduling requests for these steps.
What is the minimum quantity I can buy into?
A quarter barrel (70 bottles) is the smallest quantity we offer. We also recommend going in on an order with a small group of friends or family members to share your special experience and customized bottles.
