"In Wine There is Truth"

Home winemaking is an enjoyable and satisfying hobby for anyone willing to learn and be patient. We have a range of options for the novice or seasoned winemaker, with recipes tailored to the beginner or the expert, using fruit from peaches, pears or bananas to the more traditional grape varieties that are the basis of your favorite wines from France or Spain.

Like any engaging activity, the basic steps are easy to learn and practice, but one person could never fully master the art of winemaking in an entire lifetime. The greatest strengths of any winemaker are patience, persistence, and creativity.

At the Winemaker's Shop we offer a variety of fruit juice concentrates that you can use as the base of your recipe, and we can special order fresh grapes from our suppliers on demand. If you can imagine it we probably stock it, from elderberry and apple to shiraz and gewurtztraminer and more. We of course also carry an assortment of dry and liquid yeast that we can help you match to your recipe or wine style, including utility yeasts for stuck fermentations or general yeast activity. We also stock a full range of additives like citric acid, acid blend, yeast nutrient, sulfites, tannins, enzymes and clarifiers, as well as a solid selection of books and manuals you can browse or buy to help you through your winemaking.

As for bottling and corking, we've got you covered there too, with a selection of premium, synthetic and rubber corks; hand or stand corkers; new, used, standard, decorative, large and small bottles; and of course labels, label-making paper, shrink-wrap tops and sealer's wax to dress up your bottles after the important stuff is already inside.

So whether you've already got a few dozen personal vintages under your belt or you've only ever had Boone's Farm out of the bottle, we invite you to come in and check out our winemaking selections. As always, we'll be happy to talk it over with you and offer any advice you might need!
