You can make a wine, taste some vintages, and fall in love with the experience of being a winemaker for a day. So grab your significant other, friends, and family, and get ready to blend your own bottle of our “stupid” good wine. Every guest will have an opportunity to really get their hands and pallet into the winemaking process. We only offer red wines to blend with at this time. If, however, your guest would like to try tasting some white wines… we have you covered. You will barrel taste 6 different red wines that are in barrel and aging. We will gather these wines into small sample jars with you and work with them in our temperature-controlled warehouse. We will also supply you with beakers for measuring, a notepad to write down what you like and do not like and a glass to sample with. Each guest will get 1 bottle of the wine that they created to enjoy at home. During your experience, you will cork the bottle, add your own name to it and take it home.

Q&A

Q: Is there an age limit for participating in the wine blending experience?

A: Yes, you need to be at least 21 to participate since it's all about winemaking and tasting. It's strictly enforced, so make sure your guests are of age. If you’re bringing someone younger, just plan on them hanging out and enjoying the atmosphere.

Q: What should we wear for the wine barrel blending?

A: Dress comfortably! You might get a bit messy from the wine, especially when blending and corking your bottle. Closed-toe shoes are a good call, and maybe leave your fancy outfit at home. Just think casual but nice.

Q: Can you reschedule if something comes up?

A: Yes, you can reschedule! Just give them a call or email at least 48 hours in advance. They’re pretty flexible, but it’s best to reach out early to find a new spot that works for you.

Thinking about gifting the Wine Barrel Blending experience!

Hey, I'm considering the Wine Barrel Blending experience at McClain Cellars in Newport Beach for my boyfriend's birthday. I love that each person gets to create their own bottle. Has anyone done this? What was your favorite part? Would it be good for a couple's date?

Just did the Wine Barrel Blending experience!

Wow, what an amazing time! The staff at McClain Cellars were incredible, and I loved tasting the different reds before blending. Bringing home my own bottle was the cherry on top! Highly recommend it for anyone looking to try something new or as a gift.
