Boulder Creek Winery began production in September of 2003 with the crush of 16 tons of fresh grapes - Chardonnay, Merlot, Cabernet Sauvignon, and Cabernet Franc.

Our growers, located four hours and two mountain passes to the west of our winery, hand harvest our grapes when we mutually determine that optimal ripeness has been achieved.  Our grapes are then loaded in 1/2 ton bins onto refrigerated trucks which deliver them to our winery.

Immediately upon arrival, our crushing team unloads the bins into our temperature-controlled storage area, and one by one, the bins of grapes are sorted, crushed, and pumped - either into the press for white wines or into tanks for red wines.

We rely on our expert growers to produce premium quality grapes.  Likewise, they rely on us to shepherd that fruit through the winemaking process.

Thus, Boulder Creek Winery's guiding principal of wine production is to celebrate the journey of the grape from vine to glass by gently controlling and monitoring conditions that optimize the ability of our premium quality grapes to transform themselves into premium quality wines.
