Crushing/De-stemming fees for Red Varietals - .35¢/pound ($45.00 min. per variety) 

Crushing & Pressing fees for White Varietals is included in the price per pound. You will receive 6 - 6.5 gallons of juice per 100# of white grapes purchased depending on the yield of the grapes each year.

How it works:

  • Call (510-849-0400) or come by the shop to purchase grapes.
  • Minimum order is 100 pounds, with larger orders sold in increments of 100 pounds.
  • A deposit of 50% of your total is due at time of order (grapes + processing fees).
  • The balance is due when you pick up your order. 
  • We will call you 2-3 days before your order is ready to let you know the date your grapes are coming in and to set a time for you to pick up. 
  • You will need to bring your bins or carboys in to the shop - clearly labeled with your last name and varietal of grape - before your pick up day.

When will the grapes arrive?

Grapes are purchased at your own risk. There are no refunds. Due to the nature of grapes, date of delivery, fires, storms etc. by purchasing grapes through Oak Barrel you are assuming the risk that something might happen to put the grapes at risk or it might be inconvenient to pick them up - we can offer no refunds after deposits are received or after full payment has been received.

When will the grapes arrive?

Accurate arrival dates for wine grapes are impossible to predict. In a typical year, harvest begins in late-August and continues through the end of October. This year's harvest is looking like it will be typical, starting in late-August (White grapes) and ending in September to early-October (Red grapes).

What happens if you are not available when the grapes come in?

If you are not available to pick up your grapes when they come in we suggest you arrange friends to pick them up, use a service like Task Rabbit or a Uber for transport. If you are out of town you can arrange with us to care for your fermenting grapes or juice for $25/day + yeast and additives you request. Service includes daily punchdowns, yeast and additive addition based on your instructions. Space is limited and so we do not guarantee we will have availability. We will not press your grapes. do not have temperture control available and will not be able to support more tricky requests such as dry ice etc.

We strongly suggest that you do not plan a vacation during the crush. November is a beautiful time to travel!

* Projected (Estimated Time of Arrival - ETA) arrival dates are subject to change until the actual harvest date is set. We always attempt to give buyers at least two to three days advanced notice of the arrival of their grapes. Confirmed, or "set" harvest dates will be designated by a parenthetical (s).
