How it works, in 45 seconds.
First, a question

Transcript: Ever priced out a vineyard? The land. The crew. The paperwork. And then closed the tab? Here's the idea. We lease you vines at a real, working vineyard. Five of them, or a whole block. We farm them. The winery's crew prunes, tends and picks. Their cellar makes the wine. You make the calls. When to pick. How much new oak. Where the blend lands. The winemaker lays out the options, and you choose. And you keep the wine. Bottled, labeled, and shipped to your door. Your own vineyard. Without the work.
01 — What you lease
The unit is the vine.
Not a bottle, not a subscription. You lease vines at a real vineyard, and the wine they make is split with you by vine count. Drag the slider to see what a few vines become.
Five vines minimum
Enough for a share of a real lot. Every listing shows its own price and yield per vine.
One lot, one wine
Your vines are a share of a single wine made in one vessel. The winemaker designs the style; the calls inside it are yours.
Bottles follow vines
At bottling the wine is allocated pro-rata. Lease more vines, get more of it — up to the whole barrel.

This is a
Crew
Your vines share one lot with a small Crew. The winemaker lays out the options at each call; you vote together. One vintage.
Live listing: Oakville Cabernet Sauvignon, Oakville — $185/vine, ~1.3 bottles/vine, 225L French oak barrique, 60% new. Drawn at one 225 L barrel (~300 bottles) for scale. Block Commissions are quoted per year by the winery, three-year minimum.
See this listing02 — What happens next
One vintage, from your phone.
A vintage runs twelve to eighteen months. The work happens in the vineyard and the cellar; the decisions come to you. Here is the year, and every place you come in.
01Before the season
Choose a lot.
Pick the place and the wine you want to make — an Alexander Valley Cabernet, a Rioja Reserva, a Marlborough Sauvignon Blanc. The listing shows everything about the vineyard except its name. Lease five vines, a dozen, or the whole barrel.
Your call: where, what, how many vines
9:41
02January – June
Watch the vines wake up.
Pruning, budbreak, flowering, fruit set. The vineyard crew does the work; you get the live data — soil moisture, temperature, growing degree days — plus notes and photos from the winemaker in the rows.
9:41
03July – August
Taste the fruit before it's wine.
At veraison the first sample kit ships: verijuice pressed from your own lot. Three more follow — after fermentation, from barrel, and the finished wine — so you taste every stage of what you're making.
9:41
04September
Call the pick date.
The winemaker reads sugar, acid and flavor in the rows, then lays out three dates. Every one makes good wine; each makes a different wine. You vote. Majority rules, and a missed vote goes with the winemaker's recommendation.
Your call: when to pick
9:41
05October – November
Choose the oak.
After fermentation the wine goes down to barrel. How much new oak, and for how long, shapes everything that follows. The winemaker frames the options and the reasoning; you decide.
Your call: the oak program
9:41
06The following spring
Set the blend.
The winemaker sets a range that will make great wine at any point — then the blend trial decides where it lands. This is the moment the wine becomes yours.
Your call: the final blend
9:41
07Bottling
The wine comes home.
Bottled, labeled and allocated by vine count. Your cases ship to your door — or a second home, or as gifts — with every decision you made on the record.

03 — Who does what

- Farming — pruning, canopy, pests, harvest
- Permits, licensing and compliance

- Insurance on the vines and the wine
- Shipping the wine to you
You decide
The wine.
- Which vineyard, and which wine
- When to pick
- Fermentation choices
- The oak program
- The final blend
- Bottling date and format
- Your label, on a Block Commission
- Where every bottle goes
The winemaker frames every decision with options that will all make good wine, and explains the trade-offs. You never face an open-ended “what should we do?”
And you see all of it. Live vineyard data, chemistry at every stage, samples in the mail, the big days on livestream.

04 — Why no names
Everything but the name.
Listings lead with the place and the wine, not the winery. The whole record is public — climate, soil, the lot, the vessel, the price and yield per vine. The producer's name is the one thing held back, and you learn it when you enroll or visit.
Here's why: a respected estate won't publicly advertise spare vines, so anonymity is how good vineyards can take part at all. Before a listing goes live we visit the vineyard, meet the winemaker and taste past vintages — so you're not relying on a logo.
05 — Two ways in
Alone, for years. Or together, for one vintage.
The headline leaseBlock Commission
Your own vineyard, leased.
Lease a block at a working winery for three years or more. You make every winemaking call yourself, every bottle the block produces is yours, and your name goes on the label. You lease the vines; the wine is yours outright.

06 — Prove it
Ten vines. Judged blind.
Competition judges taste blind. They don't know who made the wine, or that it came from a dozen vines instead of a hundred acres. We'll enter the wine you made — a Crew lot or your own barrel — in established international competitions, poured alongside wines from famous estates.
You choose the competitions and pay their entry fees. We handle the forms, the shipping and the deadlines.

No — and we'd rather be plain about it. The winery owns and farms the land. You lease the vines, and the wine they make is yours. A Crew covers one vintage; a Block Commission runs three years or more.
