Q: Do you require reservations?
A: No, reservations are not required, but recommended. While you are more than welcome to visit Studio Vino anytime you wish, it is recommended for groups to schedule tasting/making events as well as your bottling party.
Q: How long does the wine take to make?
A: The wine typically takes about 90 days to complete – including primary fermentation, secondary fermentation and filtering.
Q: Can I taste the wine before I make my own batch?
A: Absolutely! If you have reservations for a tasting, you will have a chance to sample all of our wines. Alternatively, you can visit Studio Vino and request a sample. We are always happy to provide a taste of our wine!
Q: When will my wine be ready to drink and how long can I keep it?
A: Your wine will be drinkable when you come back to bottle. Both whites and reds will be quite palatable, however, you'll notice that the reds in particular will be better with a bit of aging. 3 to 6 months after bottling, you'll notice a difference in overall taste and finish. Our wines do contain sulfites for preserving, however we recommend drinking no later than 2-3 years to enjoy best taste.
Q. Are there discounts for multiple batches?
A: Yes, there is a discount. In fact, you may decide that you want more than one type of wine (especially if you are a group making wine together). Therefore, you can take advantage of discount pricing and share different types of wine among the group.
Q: Can I blend?
A: Of course! Studio Vino's goal is to allow you to create a wine that suits your taste. If you would like to blend, that's certainly an option. Talk to Studio Vino representatives for more information on blending.
Q: Can I ship my wine?
A: Depending upon the state to which you are shipping, Studio Vino is happy to work with you to ship your wine. We are able to ship to most states.
Q: Where do the grapes come from?
A: At this time, all wine produced at Studio Vino begins with grapes from California - mainly the Lodi District.
Q: Is Studio Vino a wine bar?
A: Studio Vino does not sell wine by the glass. We do, however, sell by the bottle. So if you are interested in spending some time at the studio and would like to enjoy a glass of wine, we can accomodate. If you do not finish the bottle, we can recork and you can take the rest with you.
Q: Is there any experience required? What exactly will I need to know?
