boutique wineries
Small-batch wine producers
Boutique wineries are small-scale wine producers emphasizing quality, craftsmanship, and limited production over volume.
They typically focus on specific grape varieties or terroir, often using traditional methods and hands-on techniques.
The term suggests exclusivity and artisanal care: We visited several boutique wineries in Napa.
Output is usually measured in hundreds or thousands of cases rather than millions.
