Frequently Asked Questions
Please reach us at info@cchwc.org if you cannot find an answer to your question.
You will be joining a club with other winemakers with 100's of years of combined experience. You will get to attend our monthly educational meetings and wine tastings. You will have access to club equipment like crushers and presses. You will be able to participate in group volume purchases for supplies and most importantly grapes straight from the vineyards at wholesale industry pricing. We have also partnered with commercial wineries which gives us access to some of the best grapes in Washington. You will meet new friends and enjoy the camaraderie.
Most of our new members have made a batch of wine from either grapes or a kit but we welcome all enthusiasts and future wine makers. Our club is an educational club for all levels
Most members start off with a 5-gallon batch of wine. This will roughly take 100lbs of grapes that can range from $100-$200 based on varietal, some yeast that runs about $5 and some time. This will yield about 2 cases.
Most people starting out will need a fermentation vessel. This can be a food grade bucket and an aging vessel which is usually a carboy. An airlock, a racking cane, and either a keg or bottles for the finished product. You can buy used equipment for under $50 or new for around $100 from local suppliers. Large equipment like crushers and presses are owned by the club and available to use for free.
As of 2025, the current price is $50 for the year. That's right for the YEAR!
