On March 22, 2010, Markham Heritage Wines will be owned and operated by the Arthurs family. After many years in the business, Craig has decided to make a career move and we all wish him well.

Please allow us to introduce ourselves…

In 1968 we opened Ontario’s first winemaking supply store, Wine-Art, catering to winemakers seeking quality supplies for making wine at home. The business grew over the years into the world’s largest manufacturer, wholesaler and retailer supplying discriminating wine and beer makers around the world.

In 1987, we developed the first 4 week wine kit, meeting a growing demand for a quick fermenting, kit type product that could be made in a home or apartment. In a few short years, Wine-Art customers were making over 8 million bottles of great wine annually.

The business continued to grow and eventually merged with Wine Kitz to form the largest chain of retail winemaking shops in the world.

Now, after a short retirement, we are back in business, ready to bring Markham/Stouffville and York Region a whole new experience in making your own wine. Whether you are looking to make your wine at home or at our fully equipped wine shop, we are ready with answers to any questions you may have. Our offerings from around the world can satisfy your requirements for good quality table wine to the very finest wines suitable for special occasions and for long term cellaring.

Please drop in and say hello!

We’ve made some changes and will continue to improve your winemaking experience over the next little while. We’ve installed an automatic bottle washer and will be installing a reverse osmosis bottled water system, offering the cheapest 5 gallon refill anywhere.
