Vinify Wine Services

What Vinify Wine Services does

Vinify Wine Services is a premium custom crush winery headquartered in Santa Rosa, California, serving fine winemakers in Sonoma, Napa, and the broader California wine region. Operating for 15+ years from a single facility on Coffey Lane, the company provides outsourced winemaking infrastructure for independent vintners who need professional production capacity without owning a full winery.

The company's core offering is full-service wine production spanning grape receiving, fermentation, barrel aging, and bottling. Supporting infrastructure includes 50+ jacketed temperature-controlled tanks (3-10 tons), four humidity- and temperature-controlled barrel rooms, a central glycol cooling system with TankNet controls, and specialized pressing equipment (Europresses, Bucher Vaslin JLB 20, Carlsen). A proprietary web-based scheduling tool coordinates processing, wine work, and inventory across the operation. Service tiers include full-service production, an entry-level Crush-and-Go option, and standalone Custom Bottling for wines produced elsewhere. An on-site tasting room hosts private, appointment-based tastings featuring wines from client wineries.

Vinify is a private, for-profit California entity with 11-50 employees and no disclosed funding rounds. Revenue is generated via quote-based, customized service contracts (professional services) with small-to-mid-batch wine producers, supplemented by tasting room retail. The company is a member of the California Sustainable Winegrowing Alliance and serves a named roster of approximately 18 client brands spanning mid-market premium wine production.

Core offering

Vinify Wine Services is a premium custom crush winery that provides full-service wine production for independent winemakers, covering grape receiving, pressing, temperature-controlled fermentation, barrel aging in climate-controlled rooms, and custom bottling. The company operates as a contracted production facility, with winemakers either outsourcing the entire winemaking process or selecting modular services such as crush-and-go processing or standalone custom bottling.

Product overview

Vinify Wine Services operates as a single, unified premium custom crush winery offering. The core service is Full-Service Wine Production, providing complete winemaking from grape receiving through bottling using professional-grade equipment. Additional service modules include Crush-and-Go (entry-level processing) and Custom Bottling. The on-site Tasting Room hosts seated tastings featuring wines produced by client wineries. The facility also features proprietary web-based wine production software for scheduling, processing, wine work, and inventory management. No distinct platform-plus-modules architecture exists; all offerings are integrated components of a single custom crush service.
