wine TASTING

At the heart of the Crown Point estate stands a lovingly retrofitted horse barn, transformed into a state-of-the-art winery. The cellar, nestled within the estate’s core and surrounded by 45 acres of flourishing vines, truly marks this as a quintessential estate vineyard.

Inside the winery, guests are greeted by a stunning array of French oak barrels and upright wooden oak fermenters. Blending traditional winemaking techniques with modern innovation, the winery employs concrete fermenters and stainless-steel tanks.

Crown Point’s commitment to excellence and sustainability is palpable in the design and equipment of the winery. This ensures meticulous oversight of every stage of the winemaking process, culminating in exceptional wines that magnificently showcase the vineyard’s distinctive terroir.
