Make Your Own Wine With Don Reha (Temecula's Thornton Winery)

Become a winemaker for a day at Thornton Winery’s Winemaker’s Blending Party on January 19 from 2 pm to 4 pm. Join winemaker Don Reha as he guides participants through a tasting and blending exercise in the Champagne Caves.

“Our guests will have the opportunity to put their creative talents to work in a small group setting,” said Reha. “I am looking forward to sharing the secrets, passion, and expertise that goes into making a premium blend.”

The class begins with tasting barrel samples, breaking down the components of each sample and discussing what makes the fruit forward wines of the Temecula Wine region so unique. Reha will offer tips on how to become more adventurous with wine tasting, while coaching guests how to blend their own personal mixture based on personal likes and dislikes. Cost is $65 per person and includes a winemaker signed bottle of your personal blend.
