We deliver this wine to you in a flexible pouch instead of a glass bottle to provide a take anywhere packaging solution for adventures like backpacking in the mountains or on a float down the river. Beyond packability, it also ensures that the wine will remain fresh glass after glass up to 4 weeks.

What is Watchdog Winery?

Born from an idea that there is an expanding industry of growing wine grapes in order to handcraft wine in a harsh, cold climate peaked our interest. We have traveled around the world and visited the vineyards of Italy, New Zealand, and the US. With the love of wine, growing grapes, and the science behind the scenes we are setting out to take the next step in grape cultivation in Montana.
