Revolution Winery & Kitchen

What Revolution Winery & Kitchen does

Revolution Winery & Kitchen is a privately held, founder-owned neighborhood craft winery and restaurant operating from a single location at 2831 S Street in midtown Sacramento, California. The business was originally established around a 2005 first vintage and formalized in its current combined winery-and-kitchen form in 2015 under Chef/Owner Gina Genshlea. Its core technical asset is an on-site winery running the largest wine-on-tap system in California — a custom keg infrastructure operating continuously for over 10 years that the company reports has diverted more than 435,000 bottles from landfills. Winemaking is led by Director of Winemaking Colleen Clothier (11-year tenure) and Winemaker Samuel Wharton (full-time since 2016), using low-intervention methods on hand-harvested grapes sourced from vineyards within a 60-mile radius across El Dorado, Amador, Clarksburg, Lodi, Contra Costa, Carneros, and Sonoma County.

The product portfolio integrates on-site wines (sold by glass, flight, carafe, bottle, or shipped DTC) with a creative vegan- and gluten-forward restaurant menu. Revenue is generated through six streams: dine-in food and beverage, on-site wine sales, the quarterly Winemaker Club subscription (3-bottle $85-$105 or 6-bottle $165-$210, four shipments per year), the RENEW Society monthly refill subscription ($25/month), private barrel-room events, and a direct-to-consumer online wine shop. Marketing is community-led via Instagram, Facebook, a Grapevine email newsletter, themed dining events (Burger Thursdays, Fair Food), and seasonal wine club pickup parties. The business runs no third-party retail distribution, takes no reservations for tastings, and is operated as a low-friction neighborhood hospitality concept under DBA names Revolution Wines and REV.
