WinePod® Online School of Artisan Winemaking
$99.00

A four-week online winemaking course that teaches wine enthusiasts how to make their own hand-crafted wine. Hosted by award-winning author and sommelier Courtney Cochran and taught by WinePod’s professional winemakers, this unprecedented hands-on custom crush class takes a batch of premium grapes through the key steps in the winemaking process.

Course participants learn how the world’s preeminent wines go from grape to glass and come away with a deeper appreciation and knowledge of winemaking and their own personal bottle of wine (where allowed by law).

Crush Club Powered by WinePod®
$499 - one case
$989 - two cases
$1,439 - three cases
$1,872 - four cases

The first custom crush club that allows members to craft premium wine in small batches year-round, no matter where they live. Using fruit from some of the world’s foremost vineyard sites and virtual collaboration with critically acclaimed winemakers, Crush Club enables wine enthusiasts to take their passion for buying, pairing and sharing wine to the next level.

Crush Club members collaborate with our winemakers to create a Personalized Wine Plan that acts as a roadmap for the creation of their wine. Members then follow their wine throughout the winemaking process – from crush through fermentation and barrel aging – via live chat and video updates from our winemakers in Napa. When the wine is near completion, members work with the design team to create a custom label, which is applied to bottles of finished wine and shipped right to their door. Crush Club members choose from Cabernet Sauvignon, Pinot Noir, Syrah, Sangiovese, Chardonnay and Sauvignon Blanc.
