Carboy Custom Blending Lab

Friday, August 21

⏰ 5:00 PM – 8:00 PM

Ever wondered what it’s like to be a winemaker for the night? Welcome to the Carboy Custom Blending Lab—a hands-on, high-end wine experience with just the right touch of fun.

Hosted by James, Carboy Owner & Sparkling Wine Producer, and Barbie, Manager & Sommelier, this immersive three-hour lab invites you to swirl, taste, experiment, and ultimately create a wine that’s entirely your own.

Come solo or bring a partner in blending—either way, you’ll leave with bottles that tell your story.


The Experience

You’ll begin with a guided tasting of three white wines and three red wines, each chosen to highlight different elements of structure, aroma, and balance. With expert guidance (and plenty of encouragement to play), you’ll explore how small adjustments can transform a wine.

From there, it’s your moment to shine.

  1. Craft a final blend of your choice: white, red, or rosé
  2. Fine-tune it until it perfectly matches your palate
  3. Bottle and cork your wine on-site

You’ll then customize a Carboy-designed label, filling in your wine’s name, grape blend, date, and your name(s)—because great wine deserves great credit.

At the end of the evening, you’ll take home six bottles of your custom-blended wine to enjoy, share, or proudly show off.


What’s Included
  1. All wine used for blending and tasting during the lab
  2. Hands-on guidance from Carboy’s Owner & Winemaker and Sommelier
  3. A thoughtfully curated charcuterie spread to snack on while you blend
  4. Bottles, corks, labels, and packaging
  5. Six bottles of your finished custom blend to take home


️ Ticket Information
  1. $250 per blender(One individual or a team of two blending together)
  2. Duration: Approximately 3 hours
  3. Limited spots to keep the experience intimate, interactive, and relaxed


Perfect For
  1. Wine lovers ready to level up from sipping to creating
  2. Couples, friends, or creative duos looking for a unique night out
  3. Anyone who’s ever tasted a wine and thought, “I’d tweak this just a little…”

No winemaking experience required—just curiosity, creativity, and a love of wine.


Refined, playful, and completely one-of-a-kind—this is your chance to blend, bottle, and take home a wine that’s unmistakably yours.
