Meet your host, Mark Blanchard

Host on Vinera Hub since 2022

Welcome to Blanchard Family Wines. This family-owned wine label is the creation of two brothers, James and Mark Blanchard, with a common passion for fine wines. Their dream is to offer hand-crafted, artisan selections that truly showcase a sense of place and exhibit boutique winemaking techniques. Their wines, from various appellations of Sonoma County, are extremely low-production and limited in availability. Each wine is a unique gem in the bottle and meant to be shared with friends and family.

The Winemaker Experience

Ever wondered what a real winemaker goes through in creating award winning wine? This is your chance to have a private one of a kind experience with winery owner Mark Blanchard. After sitting down for a personal tasting of 4-5 wines, Mark will give a tour of our humble winemaking area, teaching the details of the craft. And then, guests will get to try 3 unique barrels samples of unfinished wine. If that wasn’t enough, guests will be guided by Mark in the process of actually blending the wines together. In the end, guests will have created their very own wine, with options to purchase their custom project by the case. 2 person minimum.
