All our wines are made one barrel at a time and aged in American oak barrels. Interested winemakers can get involved in half or full barrels. We have individuals and couples making half barrels, groups of friends and co-workers making barrels, and families and neighborhoods making multiple barrels. At The Wine Room, we feel that winemaking is a celebration, so our sessions often become social events as much as educational courses.
The “work” portion of each session is about 30 minutes, but most people spend 1 – 1 ½
hours per session at The Wine Room. Groups arrive before their scheduled time, often with a tray of food to enjoy in our Tuscan café setting. They move to the winery area to perform the task at hand, and then wander back to their table to finish snacks and linger and visit in the quaint surroundings.
While most groups are comprised of two to ten people for each barrel of wine being made, the price is not based on the number of people you have participating. It is based on the variety and quantity of wine made, along with your choices of new or used barrels, bottles, corks, capsules and labels. The average total cost for making a half barrel of wine is $1,100 and $2,100 for a full barrel. Since each barrel yields 20 cases (240 bottles), that breaks down to less than $10 per bottle. This is an extremely good savings, as you are hand-crafting wine that is easily comparable to $25 bottles from a liquor store.

If a barrel of wine is more than you wish to make, or if you are having difficulty getting a group together, then you might want to consider our Introduction to Winemaking Course which is offered once in the spring and once in the fall to coincide with the Chilean and California harvests. However you choose to get involved, we hope to see you soon at The Wine Room of Cherry Hill!
