What is Wine Blending?
Wine blending is the process of combining different wine varietals to create a composite that's better than any of the wines separately on their own. The wines blended might be from different varieties, different regions, different wood—and non-wood-aging, different vintages, and even wines made from different fruit.
​
Did you know? Wine makers don't have to label their wine as a blend as long as 75% of the wine is from a single varietal.

Each grape variety that is added to a wine blend contributes a special attribute, which combines to create a perfectly well-rounded, rich and smooth tasting wine. Wines from Bordeaux and Champagne are world-renowned for their exceptional wine blends.
​
All our wines are sourced from only the finest vineyards in Lake County, California (region adjacent to Napa and Sonoma.)

​
Creating the blend might just be the most creative (and fun!) part of being a winemaker.
It’s the moment where you get a chance to exercise your skills at flavor balancing. In fact, the process of blending goes beyond just putting grape varieties together. Many winemakers go through a rigorous barrel selection process to identify the best tasting wines.
​
The top barrels go into a winery’s reserve bottlings, either reserved as a single variety or put together into a cuvée (French for ‘vat’).
At Vino Bambino Winery, once receiving our Cali grapes, our wines are all handcrafted right here in Pennsylvania! We utilize old world winemaking methods - that have been used in our winemaker's family for generations - paired with modern technologies to craft our wine. We then age our wine in special Oak barrels.
​
After the wine is made, we allow you, our customers, to become the winemaker and make your own masterpiece through our one-of-a-kind interactive Wine Blending Experiences. You can blend & purchase additional bottles or cases of your special blend - this is NOT your typical wine tasting.
​
We invite you to be a part of our story and come along on this journey with us.
