How a lease works
A block of your own, sized by the barrel.
A Block Commission is a multi-year lease on real vines at a working winery. You don't own the land — you own the wine, and every decision that makes it.
01
Choose a vineyard
Every listing shows the climate, soil, the wines the block can make and the winemaker's record. The estate's name comes when you commit or visit.
02
Pick the vessel
The vessel sets the size of your lease — how many vines, and how many bottles a year. Step through the tiers below.
03
Set the terms
Three years minimum, with better rates at five. Demi-Blocks can be reserved online; larger commissions start with a conversation.
04
Make it yours
Every winemaking call is yours alone, every bottle the block makes is yours, and your name goes on the label.
Five tiers, anchored to the fermentation vessel
Each winery sets its own price per commission — a Demi-Block at a value region and the same tier at a top Pinot specialist can differ several-fold. Bands are typical, per year.

Competitions · Year 2+
Your wine, in the ring.
One real reason to choose Block Commission over generic vineyard ownership: you get to compete. Three competition formats launch once enough lessees have a full vintage cycle behind them. The first runs in Year 2.
Out-winemake the winemaker
Year 2+Your wine vs. theirs. Same fruit. Blind panel.
Annually at each vineyard. You make your wine. The vineyard's winemaker makes theirs from the same fruit. A blind tasting panel scores both.
