The Winemaking Experience

We offer clean and friendly on-premise winery services. This means that unlike traditional home winemaking where you need to purchase and carry home a lot of equipment and a wine kit (we can help with that, too, if you prefer), you can now make your wine/s in our winery.

Once you’ve chosen the wine/s you’d like to make and added the special yeast to begin the process, we will take care of storage and filtering. You come in when it’s time to bottle and use our state-of-the-art washing and bottling stations. New customers get 1/2 price bottles – limited time only! All wines include labels and matching shrink tops, and in as little as four weeks you will have 30 bottles of delicious, commercial-quality wine for a fraction of the price.

We GUARANTEE your satisfaction, and are here to answer any questions you have throughout the process. If there’s a commercial wine you like, we can almost always help you make something very similar.

Many wine novices do not understand how easy the process can be. Our observations over the years show that the typical novice winemaker approaches the first batch and offers the following comments:

1. Surprise that 30 bottles of wine can be made so easily and so inexpensively.
2. Pondering if 30 bottles of wine may be too much wine.
3. Deciding to try it and getting started.
4. Being highly impressed by the results of the first batch of wine.
5. Realizing that 30 bottles of wine are not enough wine and putting on a second batch.
6. Becoming an avid winemaking enthusiast and convincing friends to follow suit.
7. Friends following suit and joining in to make batches of their own.
8. No longer having to give away most of the wine to friends!

*NOTE: Markham Heritage Wines is newly owned by Mike and John Arthurs, whom Canadian winemakers may remember as the former owners of both Wine-Art and Wine Kitz. (see our Announcement for details).
