Make Your Own Vintage Wine – Personalized Wine

At every winery in the world, from the smallest to the most sophisticated, wine is created from “must”, the juice extracted from grapes. Like all wineries, Carafe puts the must through the same series of processing. This allows us to create wines like Sauvignon Blanc, Merlot, Gerwurztraminer, Amarone, Chardonnay and Cabernet Sauvignon just to name a few.

The amazing difference between Carafe and other winemakers is that we transport juices from the major grape growing regions of the world (California, Chile, Australia, Italy and Washington State) and produce your wine on-site. The process can take from 4 to 6 weeks, depending on the type of wine chosen. Although ready to enjoy, your wine will improve with aging.

Carafe may make wine using the same methods as others, but there is nothing ordinary about Carafe wines. You will be impressed…we even GUARANTEE it! If you are not completely satisfied, we will replace it or refund your money.

Your Carafe wine will be created using the same process as all of our wines…

Carafe Wine Makers will assist you in mixing the must and yeast necessary to initiate fermentation.

Fermentation is the natural process that allows the yeast to transform the sugars in the juice to alcohol, therefore creating wine.

This separates the wine from the sediments that occur naturally during fermentation. Once clarified, fermentation ceases.

Using specially designed equipment, we will carefully filter and “polish” your wine to ensure that the smallest residual particles of sediment are removed.

This is the final step. If you’ve made your own batch of wine, you may enjoy doing this step yourself or with friends. Our automatic filling and corking equipment makes the process quick and fun!
