Revenue model

1. Direct Wine Sales (Tasting Room & Online Shop): Wines sold directly to consumers at the estate tasting room and through the online shop. Customers can purchase by the bottle or by the case for pickup locally, shipping within California, or shipping to select out-of-state destinations. Bottle limits and availability are regulated by state laws.
2. Wine Club Membership Subscriptions: Two wine club tiers — Wineaux Club (2 bottles, 4x/year, 15% discount) and Collectors Club (3 bottles, 4x/year, 25% discount). No membership fee or monthly dues; members are charged only for wine shipments plus shipping costs. In-state distributions occur 4x/year (February, May, August, October); out-of-state shipments are twice yearly in Spring and Fall.
3. Tasting Room Reservations & Charcuterie Boxes: Revenue generated through tasting flight reservations and pre-ordered charcuterie (Briecuterie) boxes at the garden tasting room. Reservations are required for groups of 1–6 guests. Charcuterie orders must be placed by Thursday noon prior to the visit.
