Crimson Lane Wine Camp

Start Your Wine Journey with Confidence
January 24th-25th

An immersive, two-day deep dive into the art, science, and joy of wine at Crimson Lane Vineyards

Secure Your Spot

Stop Guessing. Start Tasting.

Wine can be intimidating — complex menus, confusing labels, and high price tags often make it hard to know what you’re drinking or why you like it.

Crimson Lane’s Wine Camp is designed to change that.

Created specifically for those beginning their wine journey, this weekend isn’t just about drinking wine — it’s about understanding it. From vineyard soil to sensory experience, we break down the barriers between you and the bottle. By Sunday afternoon, you won’t just be a wine drinker. You’ll be an informed, confident wine consumer.

The Experience: Comparative Tasting

The Backbone of Camp: Comparative Tasting

The fastest way to learn is to compare. Over two days, campers experience 12 side-by-side tastings designed to train the palate and highlight how decisions impact every glass.

Campers will learn to identify:

  • Light-Bodied vs. Full-Bodied Reds

  • Old World (France) vs. New World (California / New Zealand)

  • Stainless Steel Crispness vs. Oak-Aged Complexity

  • Bone-Dry vs. Off-Dry

  • Champagne Method vs. Prosecco
