Join Blushworks at the 2025 North Coast Wine Industry Expo
We're excited to exhibit at this year's North Coast Wine Industry Expo on December 4th at the Sonoma County Fairgrounds.
This is your opportunity to experience Compass and Plinth firsthand - see the patent-pending engineering in action, understand the design thinking behind each feature, and discover how we're rethinking the tools home winemakers rely on.
Booth: 111

Whether you're curious about our design approach, want to see how the Compass system works in practice, or simply want to talk winemaking - we'd love to connect.
See you there!

Built to Scale - Systems That Grow with Your WinemakingThe best systems don't just solve today's problem - they scale naturally as your needs evolve.
Started with one project? Ready to run parallel experiments? Want to compare approaches side-by-side? Effective systems should expand as simply as your ambitions do.
Our Compass Expansion Bundle reflects this principle: add one Mount for your new vessel, one Tracker to follow that batch, Recipe Cards to guide the process, and Archive Sheets to capture learnings. The system remains consistent - your capacity just grows.
This is intentional scalability: from single projects to simultaneous comparisons without changing your methodology or learning new workflows. Growth shouldn't require abandoning what already works.
Ready to expand your winemaking operation without changing what already works? Discover the Compass Expansion Bundle today.

Simplify Winemaking with Plinth, the Ultimate Basket Press BaseTrue beauty comes from responding to user needs.
When we designed Plinth, we didn't start with aesthetics. We started with winemakers' frustrations: unstable surfaces, awkward heights, impossible cleanup, equipment that fights you instead of helping you.

Every design decision emerged from user needs:
- Clean lines? Because complex geometry creates cleaning nightmares
- Purposeful curves? Because sharp edges damage equipment and hands
- Minimal elements? Because every unnecessary part is a potential failure point
But solving problems alone doesn't guarantee beauty. These rational decisions still needed to be orchestrated into a cohesive whole - proportioned correctly, balanced visually, and tuned to resonate with its audience.
The result isn't beautiful because we applied design trends to a wine press stand. It's beautiful because it perfectly responds to its purpose.
Ready to press with purpose? Discover how Plinth can transform your workflow.

Introducing Compass: A Fully Analog System for Smarter WinemakingIn an industry where digital tools often overpromise and underdeliver, Compass by Blushworks offers a refreshingly tactile solution for tracking winemaking across all stages - without screens, subscriptions, or software.
Designed for small to mid-sized wineries managing multiple batches at once, Compass combines visual clarity with practical flexibility. A magnetic Tracker attaches directly to tanks or carboys, holding custom Recipes that guide each step of fermentation, aging, and bottling. Once a batch is complete, Recipes are archived - building a physical, batch-specific knowledge base for future reference and refinement.

Why it matters:
✅ Keep track of concurrent fermentations at a glance
✅ Improve team coordination without adding complexity
✅ Build an analog archive of learnings and outcomes, year over year
Whether you’re scaling up or simplifying down, Compass helps winemakers stay grounded.
