OUR TEAM
FIRST PRESS WINERY was designed by a team of experts representing all critical design and engineering disciplines required in creating wine production facilities: architecture + building systems, winery process, and refrigeration, ventilation, plumbing + electrical. Collectively our team has designed, engineered or constructed more than 300 production facilities. These wineries vary greatly in scope and size - from several thousand cases to half-million case production levels - for clients throughout the United States and overseas.
The team brings an extensive knowledge of winemaking techniques, operational models and production systems. Our expertise includes site master planning for phased development, designing and engineering production and storage facilities, visitor and hospitality centers, tasting rooms, retail operations, caves, public tours and educational exhibits.

...just as fruit quality is not a guarantee of good wine, a state of the art winery will not guarantee good wine; however, good fruit and well planned facilities are essential to making great wine.
