California Winery and Wine Region Videos

Production Notes

The Wine Questers video production team has traveled California mapping wineries, collecting data, and photographing and video recording the wineries and the major wine regions. We are preparing numerous videos from wine events and our Discover California Wine Regions video series.

We shoot "run and gun" with little time to setup in advance of shooting and no budget. Our videos at wine events are shot in crowded and noisy conditions with no control of the light and the interviewees are not prepared.

Our objective is to produce as many videos as possible quickly and inexpensively. The production values or quality is not as good as we would like but we want you to have the information sooner rather than later - or never. Hopefully you will find our videos valuable for exploring the California wine regions.

The winery interview videos are also in each winery's profile. Use our winery search engine to find them for your selected wine region.
