How many times have you been to Napa Valley or Sonoma County? Forget about those long flights and expensive trips because now, you can learn to make your very own wine, locally. During this class, learn all about the winemaking process, from selecting the proper grapes, all the way to bottling and labeling. In the first of this two session class, you will discover various approaches and techniques to this art form, as well as create 24-28 bottles of your very own wine. Once your wine ferments, you'll return and fine tune your product by balancing, stabilizing, and adjusting the tannin and sugar levels of your vino. Finally bottle, cork, and label your final product so that it's ready to break out at your next party and impress all your guests. Stop for a second and smell the roses -- or grapes -- because the next world-famous vino could be right under your nose.
Note: Pricing listed is per person and must be booked in pairs and is two sessions long. The second session will take place after your wine has fermented, a date that you will choose. There is a required materials fee of $70-$180, depending on the type of wine you choose to make, that must be paid upon arrival.

Winemaking Class April 3, 2017Meadery, what the what! Well it's delicious! This was my dust time ever hearing about wine made from honey! It was really good, I went with my cousins and did tasting. The mead was really good and a tad bit stronger than wine from grapes! I actually enjoyed this tasting better than the overly crowed Cooper's Hawk.

Winemaking Class March 22, 2017I am a struggling home beer brewer. Bev-Arts has a laid back style and always helpful. I have visited maybe a dozen times in the last few years and am always treated with respect. They do not have a lot of materials in stock but probably have what you need and offer a lot of information and experience. Several times they have explained issues to me that had me confused. Great people.

Winemaking Class December 12, 2015I have been enjoying the service of Bev-Art for decades. Greg, Kaz and the rest of the staff have been helpful, knowledgeable and a pleasure to do business with. Usually the store is well stocked with essential items. Often they will order special items. If there has been a problem, Greg has resolved it to my satisfaction.

Winemaking Class January 2, 2014Surprised my girlfriend with a wine making class and the take home wine kit about a week ago. She absolutely loved it! We drank all different kinds of wine while we learned about wine making, then we made our own batch of Cabernet and are really looking forward to the final product in a few months. This place was great, very friendly and educated staff. We'll be going back I'm sure, maybe for a brewing class next time!
