I love how creative and how they think outside the box. And most of all, how nice and easy they are to work with. I would 100% recommend them!

“We absolutely love our Ripasso wine barrel furniture. Neighbors always comment on their unique style and craftmanship. The chairs are very comfortable and the side tables are a perfect size to compliment the chairs.”

“Ripasso Barrel Co is a remarkable business. Each piece of furniture is individually and lovingly hand made from beautiful recycled wood from wine barrels. Our daughter Liz and her business partner Nick, who designs the furniture, spend hours in their workshop cleaning, sanding, shaping ,and polishing the wood to create each unique piece. We are so proud of their industry in finding barrels and reusing them in such a useful and attractive way.”
