What happens when natural winemaking meets fine art? This question inspired the creation of our Summer Sessions wines. With vibrant and eye-catching labels, ingeniously creative winemaking techniques, and an abundance of fun, we're thrilled to introduce our 4th volume of these unforgettable summer wines.

Launched in 2020, this exciting initiative pairs art and wine in a unique way. Each vintage, our resident artist, Nick Perr, crafts five one-of-a-kind labels that never fail to astonish our winery team. Inspired by the artwork on each label and the distinct vibes, our winemaker, Aaron, alongside the rest of the team, take on the challenge of developing daring and unconventional blends that resonate with the spirit of each label.

Produced in extremely limited quantities, these wines often sell out quickly, especially after fulfilling our summer Neighborhood Winery Club shipments. So if you're in the club, hooray! We hope you enjoy your allocation of our extraordinary 4th volume of Summer Sessions wines!

This year's theme transports you to the beach, featuring surfboards, palm trees, ice cream cones, '80s boomboxes, and bonfires to last all summer long! To learn more about each Summer Sessions Vol. 4 blend, become a member of our Neighborhood Wine Club. This ensures you'll secure next year's series and stay in the loop about all things natural wine.
