Make Your Own Wine With Fresh Grapes From Chile
Island Winery offers a unique opportunity to learn the art and science
of winemaking while doing all the steps yourself. You make and bottle
your own wine using our equipment and expertise. No experience is
required! Here is how it
works:
Four Easy Steps
Order your grapes
In
early April, let us know what type of wine you would like to make. If
you need help deciding, please visit our winery between 12:30 -3pm
(closed Sunday’s) to taste the different Chilean red wines. You do not
need to make an appointment, just tell the tasting room attendant you
are interested in the wine school. You can make any of wines on the
list, singly or in any combination/blend.
Crushing the grapes
Sometime in May the grapes arrive at the winery (exact timing is hard to
predict at this time) The actual work for this step takes about 30-40
minutes to complete, but since we offer complementary appetizers and you
may purchase bottles of our wine to drink at a 10% discount, you may
linger longer.
