Our Origin

We lease people their own vineyards

SplitVineyards started with a simple idea: lease people their own vineyards. We hire the crew, farm the vines and handle the regulations; you make the winemaking calls and get the wine. A Block Commission is your own block for three vintages or more. A Crew is the shared version — a share of one lot, by the vine, from five, for a single vintage.

Vineyard partnerships

We work directly with head winemakers and vineyard managers to host Crews. Every partner vineyard is vetted for transparency, operational readiness, and a winemaker willing to let a Crew into the conversation.

A year with the winemaker

Across the 12–18 month vintage, the Crew sees what the winemaker sees — bud break photos, veraison field reports, fermentation footage, and the real decisions behind every bottling.

What's next

More vineyards each season, listed by region and style with the full record public and the producer's name revealed when you commit. After the first full vintage, Block Commission competitions begin: out-winemake the winemaker, and the Block Commission Cup.

Who we are

The team

Our team blends vineyard management, sommelier work, and product design. We have walked rows on the Sonoma Coast and pressed fruit on Etna. We're building the thing we wanted as drinkers and as winegrowers.
