We host several social events (barbecues, picnics, and vineyard tours) during the year, hold winemaking classes, and offer winemaking and grape growing advice to club members.
The club sponsors a grape buying co-op that allows home winemakers to purchase high quality grapes from Paso Robles, Santa Maria Valley and Santa Ynez vineyards at reasonable prices. The co-op also has the ability to help crush your red grapes, crush and press your white grapes, and measure the brix of the must. We own 2 crusher-destemmers, 2 basket presses (#30 and #45), 3 bladder presses (1 large and 2 small), barrel washer, and a stand corker that members can use to process their grapes. The club also makes available high quality corks to members at a reasonable cost.
In the video below with local TV host Lezlie Thoroddsson, Club President Fred Carbone talks about how membership in the CCHVA has helped him to become a better winemaker.
