How to Grow Your Own
Planting
Trevi Hills sits atop ideal wine growing land, or terroir, where select varietals flourish and yield robust, flavorful grapes. From soil preparation to rootstock selection and trellising, our experts will help you lay the foundation for a fruitful vineyard that will produce for generations to come.
Step 1:
Growing & Nurturing
Nurturing your vines can be as hands-on or hands-off as you like. Sing to your grapes or sit back with a glass as our experienced vineyard staff handle weeding, spraying, and seasonal pruning. With help from our sommelier and vineyard master, your vineyard will flourish under personalized care and attention. And you can be as much a part of that process as you like.
Step 2:
Harvesting & Winemaking
Each year, late summer heralds the excitement of the harvest. When the grapes reach perfect ripeness, join our team for an immersive winemaking experience—pick, crush, and press your grapes right on the estate. By day’s end, you’ll have bins full of fresh juice, primed for fermentation and aging, each bottle crafted by your own hands.
Step 3:
Barreling & Bottling
Great wine takes time, and at Trevi Hills, each bottle is crafted with patience and artistry. After harvest, the freshly pressed juice is left to ferment in open-top containers, where grape skins—or "must"—are mixed in to add complex flavors, tannins, and rich color. This stage is where winemaking transforms into an art, as the winemaker carefully guides the process, adding select yeasts and enhancements to create a signature taste profile. Once the initial fermentation completes, the wine is filtered and transferred to closed containers, where it continues its journey, allowing the alcohol content to develop as flavors settle and mature. Six to eight months later, the wine is transferred to oak barrels for aging. Over the next year, each sip-to-be mellows, deepens, and achieves its peak flavor. When ready, your wine is carefully bottled, with every pour a testament to the craftsmanship and patience that went into creating your personal vintage.
Step 4:
Where Luxury and Winemaking Converge
Trevi Hills estates are more than homes—they are expressions of the winemaker’s dream. Every vineyard is cultivated with care, allowing each resident to build their own legacy, bottle by bottle. Whether you’re a wine enthusiast, a casual connoisseur, or simply drawn to the beauty of vineyard living, Trevi Hills offers a refined lifestyle paired with an authentic winemaking experience you can call your own.
