Five tiers

Anchored to the fermentation vessel.

Pricing varies by region, varietal, prestige, and winemaker. A Demi-Block at a Lodi producer might be $4k; the same tier at a top Russian River Pinot specialist might be $18k. The platform shows the tier structure for comparison. Each winery sets its own number per commission.

Minimum commitment

Three years, minimum. Five-year tiers are discounted.

Single-vintage Block Commissions aren’t offered. Multi-year builds real relationships with winemakers, real working capital for partner wineries, and real learning for you across vintages. People who want a single-vintage engagement belong in a Crew.

Competitions · Year 2+

Your wine, in the ring.

One real reason to choose Block Commission over generic vineyard ownership: you get to compete. Three competition formats launch once enough lessees have a full vintage cycle behind them. The first runs in Year 2.

Out-winemake the winemaker

Year 2+

Your wine vs. theirs. Same fruit. Blind panel.

Annually at each vineyard. You make your wine. The vineyard's winemaker makes theirs from the same fruit. A blind tasting panel scores both.

The Block Commission Cup

Every Block Commission wine of the vintage, blind.

Annual platform-wide. Every Block Commission wine from a given vintage enters blind. A panel of sommeliers and critics scores. Top wines get featured on the platform and in press.

Varietal-specific

Best Block Commission Pinot of 2028. Best Cabernet.
