About Us

“Our wine on tap program is unique. We’ve partnered with some of the best winemakers in the US and beyond to provide a pure expression of their wine into a tap format. Our commitment is to serve a high-quality glass of wine while limiting our environmental impact.”

Jame Blackmon, General Manager and Advanced Sommelier.

Curated Wine on Tap Program

At Crush’d, we believe that great wine should not only tantalize the taste buds but also tread lightly on the planet. That's why our wine on tap program isn't just about convenience; it's a commitment to reducing our environmental footprint. By opting for taps over traditional glass bottles, we're slashing our carbon emissions by almost 96%. But sustainability isn't just a buzzword for us—it's ingrained in our ethos. Our temperature-controlled taps ensure that every glass of wine is served at the perfect temperature, without compromising on freshness. And because our taps are either reusable or recyclable, nothing goes to waste, and nothing ends up in the landfill. So, whether you're a wine connoisseur seeking your next favorite vintage or simply looking to unwind with friends over a glass of something special, we welcome you to indulge in the best of California's wine culture.
