MAKING YOUR OWN WINE
Great wine is a luxury that anyone can afford. The progress of technology has enabled more and more of the wine kits available to be of high quality.
Once Upon a Vine... is more than just a U-Vin. It is a "Life Style" store focusing on premium wine, gourmet food and all the products needed to help you produce both.
Their friendly and knowledgeable staff will help you to understand the different grape varietals, their characteristics, and which one you would likely enjoy the most.
Come see and feel the difference; a warm relaxing atmosphere with up-to-date equipment. We even serve cheese and crackers to make your bottling experience an enjoyable one.
Once Upon a Vine... proudly helps you to make award winning wines from country specific grapes - and in some cases, "vineyard specific" grapes!
