Garage Winemaking Workshop
Join Last Ditch on Sunday, September 13, 2026, from 9:00 AM to 12:00 PM in Santa Fe, New Mexico for a garage winemaking workshop.
Want to make wine at home? This three-hour, hands-on class takes you through the entire process, crush to bottle.
Working with grapes harvested the day before, you'll learn how to crush and then press grapes. We'll cover measuring sugar and pH, how to move a wine through primary and second fermentation, and the minimum equipment you actually need to do this at home. We'll then cover bottling tequniques with wine from an earlier batch.
You'll leave with a how-to handout, a supply list, and the knowledge to get started.
Lastly, you'll be invited to join the final harvest of the season in late September / early October, a few weeks after the workshop so you have time to gather supplies before you take grapes home and make your own 2026 vintage.
