About

Founded in 2001, Punchdown Cellars is a Santa Rosa-based custom crush facility providing winemaking services and logistics to boutique wineries and independent vintners. The facility was based on a collective of winemakers sharing space and having the freedom to hand craft their wines. The concept was a much-welcomed breakaway from the status quo in the world of custom crush.

In 2004 a series of expansions and improvements were made to take the facility to the next level. Production was increased to 75,000 cases per year, new tanks were added and fruit processing equipment was improved. Again in 2023 a round of purchases were made to update the facility and upgrade our fruit processing equipment with a new destemer and a new press as well as implementing InnoVint’s winemaking platform for work order entry and inventory tracking.

We provide a full host of custom crush services for premium wine production and state-of-the-art equipment and boast an impressive client roster of 40+ boutique wine producers and pride ourselves on giving each wine the same high level of detail, big or small.
