The Wine Making Process

Explore how Corks brings the joy of winemaking to the public in London, Ontario.

At Corks London South, the wine-making experience begins with selecting the type of wine you want to make. Whether you are a fan of robust reds, crisp whites, or fruity rosés, our knowledgeable staff will guide you through our extensive selection of wine kits sourced from the finest vineyards around the world. Each kit includes high-quality grape juice concentrate and all the ingredients needed to start your wine-making journey. We will discuss the flavour profiles, aging potential, and food pairings for each selection, ensuring you choose a wine that suits your taste and occasion.

Crafting Your Wine: The Hands-On Experience

Once you have selected your wine, it's time to get hands-on. Our state-of-the-art facility is equipped with all the tools and equipment needed for the wine-making process. Under the guidance of our experienced staff, you will learn how to mix, ferment, and monitor your wine. This hands-on approach not only educates but also allows you to be part of every step, making your wine truly unique.

The Final Touch: Bottling and Aging

After the fermentation process is complete, your wine will be ready for bottling. At Corks London South, we provide everything you need for this final step, including bottles, corks, and labels. You will have the opportunity to design your own labels, adding a personal touch to your creation. Our staff will assist you in the bottling process, ensuring that each bottle is filled and sealed perfectly. Once bottled, we will discuss the optimal aging period for your wine to achieve the best flavour. You can take your wine home immediately or store it in our facility until it's ready to be enjoyed. This final touch not only completes your wine-making journey but also provides a sense of accomplishment and pride in your handcrafted wine.
