Make Wine on Long Island
We've been doing this in Hicksville since 2010. Most wineries give you a tasting and a tour (maybe you get to see the barrel room if you're lucky). Here? You're crushing grapes. Pressing juice. Tasting straight from your barrel as it ages.
The big difference is scale. While other places offer 28-bottle batches, you're making 240 bottles minimum. That's wedding-level volume. Or enough to sell to your friends and family. Some of our winemakers turn their barrels into side businesses. Your wine, your call.

Winemaking - Barrel Experiences
This takes four visits over 11 months. First, you'll crush fresh grapes during harvest. 1 Week later, you press the fermented juice (it smells incredible, by the way). Then comes the waiting.
Your barrel ages for 8-10 months. You'll visit to taste. By bottling day, you're not just taking home 240 bottles–you actually understand what you made. Why Merlot softens Cabernet. What oak aging does to tannins. The science behind fermentation.
Groups of 6-10 work best. Split the cost, split the wine.
Or...Build your own wine brand and let us support you in a fun and rewarding industry.

Corporate Wine Experiences on Long Island
When your team comes to wineUdesign, they make the wine. They taste single varietals blind, argue about the ratios, and blend something together that reflects exactly how they work as a group. Then they bottle it, label it, and take it home.
Groups of 10 to 30+ work well in our Hicksville barrel room, which keeps a steady 55 to 60 degrees year-round. The space is private, the experience is guided by one of our winemakers, and the format is completely flexible depending on what you want from the day.
Corporate event groups use this for:
-
Team building that requires genuine collaboration.
-
Client entertaining with something to talk about long after the event
-
Company celebrations, milestone events, and end-of-year functions
-
Private hire for product launches or brand activations
