Tamber Bey Vineyards: Exceptional Custom Crush Services for 2024 and Beyond

Located in Calistoga, California, Tamber Bey Vineyards is pleased to offer custom crush services for the 2024 harvest and beyond. As a premier winemaking facility, we specialize in crafting ultra-premium wines for lots ranging from 2 to 10-20+ tons.

Winemaking Excellence
Our state-of-the-art winery was designed with quality in mind. Approximately 30% of our production space is dedicated to our own Tamber Bey wines, while the remaining 70% is reserved for custom crush and alternating proprietor clients. Our talented winemaking team and experienced cellar staff approach each client's needs with the utmost attention to detail, ensuring that your winemaking protocols are fully customizable to your preferences.

Innovative Technology and Compliance Support
We utilize Innovint as our wine database, providing our clients with remote access to their wines in real-time. Additionally, our compliance specialist is well-versed in assisting with the requirements involved in moving your project to our facility.

Alternating Proprietor Opportunities
The option of becoming an alternating proprietor at our winery allows our AP (02) clients to host their guests in our tasting room and ship wine directly to most states beyond the limitations of a standard 17-20 wholesaler's license.
