Wine Tasting

Your winemaking experience starts with a tasting.
Taste wines from around the world to help you choose the wine that YOU are going to make.

At Grape Inventions we believe tasting should be fun,
and it is!

Learn how to taste wine like the professionals:

What to look for in a wine
Learn about new & old world wines
Know when a wine is ‘off’
What to do when a wine is ‘off’

Let us take you on a journey through the main grape growing regions of the world…

To Australia via Chile & Italy, to France California and New Zealand.

Wine Tasting

“The tasting was really interesting, when we went out to dinner after, we practised our new found skills, it was a scream, the table cloth was a mess, thanks for a great evening"
Maria Mcgorty Ealing

Wine Making

Yes now YOU make the wine you have chosen
We provide you with everything YOU need to produce your very own Chateau!!

At Grape Inventions you don’t need a miracle.

Step by step we take you through the making, explaining:

What goes into your wine & why
How those little yeasty bits take juice and give back wine
The fermentation
The clearing
The de-gassing
And finally your label ideas

When you have finished making your wine, you release it into our care for approximately six weeks. We tend to and care for your creation in a temperature controlled loving nurturing environment.

Wine Making

“I was a bit nervous about the making, I was afraid I would botch it up, you made it really simple, you’re right it doesn’t take a miracle”
Teasie Sheerin Brixton

Taking Your Wine

The best part is that you get to take away 2 cases of wine you have produced & bottled yourself.

Six weeks after making, your grape juice has flourished into a fine young wine. At this stage it is ready to be bottled, foiled, corked and to be taken to a new home.

We have a bottling machine, Corking machine & Foiling machine (those lovely little foil hats on the top of the bottle) - We have the technology you have the ability.

We advise you on:

Caring for your wine
Storage of your wine
Optimum drinking conditions & When you should be making your next batch!!

Leading to the piece de resistance, the icing on the cake…….A Unique Personal Label

Be the envy of your friends. Showcase your fine wine with a unique personal label that we design for you.

“The bottling was easy and fun, we got to
taste our wine for the very first time, and thought Gosh we’re good winemakers!!”
Melissa Martin-James Windsor

Labelling your Wine

We present you with a unique personal label.

During the making we will have discussed your ideas with you.

You may have sent us an image, a photo, your favourite piece of art (don’t worry if you have’nt, we can give you plenty of ideas, we have a book of samples in the shop, and lots of existing customer labels on display in the window)

Together we decide what words you want on your label.

Click here to see some, yours could be here soon.

Remember it’s your label, so you can have what you want

You end this wonderful journey with 24 bottles of your very own vintage.
