How Its Done
When most people think of winemaking they envision pants rolled up and skirts held high stomping away barefoot in a
large tub mashing up grapes to a messy pulp (a la "I Love Lucy"). Well, as that is one way to do it, and I am sure a
blast, we are able to do things a little more, shall we say, sanitary, and a little less messy. Although being in Hawaii
where most of our customers are more than willing to shed their shoes, the grapes are already crushed for us and all we
have to do is get those crushed grapes to start fermenting into wonderful wine.
There are four easy steps to making fantastic personalized wine to use for yourself, gifts for your friends, business
clients, or whatever else you can think of where wine would be the perfect compliment.
Don't forget that our location is perfect for hosting a party or get together with your friends. Bring in your own snacks or
appetizers, music if you wish (we can plug most MP3 players into our stereo), and get ready to have a great time bottling,
corking, labeling and most of all, sampling your own wine. Contact us today if you have any questions on how we can
help make the most of your next party.
Step 1:
Taste, taste, taste. Sample our wines and decide on your wine of choice. (No appointment necessary, but helpful if you
have a larger group. Refer to our calendar to see what's currently available to taste and what's coming up.)
*if you just want to host a tasting party, but don't know if you want to make any wine, they are $15/person and a
reservation is required. Call 808-263-6366 for more info on our wine tastings.
Step 2:
Purchase and mix your kit in the store. Kick off the transition from juice to wine by adding the yeast and getting the
fermentation process started. This process is quick and only takes about 15 minutes. Only one or two people are
necessary for this step.
Step 3:
Patiently wait 4-6 weeks, depending on your kit style, for your kit to ferment in our temperature-controlled
fermentation room. In the meantime, work on your label design(s), or come on in and check out our label
templates if you need some ideas. We are more than willing to assist in the design of your label and have
all the necessary equipment to turn any idea you may have into a reality.
Step 4:
Fun! Fun! Fun! Bottle your wine! Bring in your friends, family,
coworkers, or anyone else you want to share your wine with in exchange
for a little work. You get to fill all the bottles, cork them, shrink the foil
hoods over the tops, and put your labels on. This is great for a night out
with friends, birthdays, weddings, anniversaries, employee parties, holiday
parties, or any other excuse you can think of to get together and bottle
some wine.
Bottling Party Policies:
We encourage you to make the most of your bottling party by inviting friends, family, and anyone else whom you
would enjoy sharing your experience (and wine!) with. Here are our current party policies to help you plan your event.
Private Party Policies:
You may request to have our space reserved for a private party (maximum 50 people) More than 30 people will
automatically require a private party reservation. Call us at 263-6366 for additional details.
