Winescape is a really great place to make wine for any occasion. This was our first time making and bottling wine. My fiance and I did it for our large wedding reception and our guests included some pretty finicky wine connoisseurs, so both Brian and I were a bit anxious about making the right wine choices to suit our guests’ tastes.
The staff at Winescape are so passionate about what they do that our anxiety was immediately banished and replaced with excitement about surprising our guests with delicious drinks at our reception. The bubbly gentleman staff member (his name escapes me but you’ll know him when you meet him: he is just a delightful person!) who walked us through our choices was like a wine mascot: full of palpable positive energy and excitement for what he does. He helped us to make the best decision for our budget.
When our wine was ready to bottle, we were helped by Brittany. Our first batches were all hooked up to the machines and ready to go when we arrived so there was zero lag time. We were also presented with a super yummy charcuterie board that included some really special bites like a merlot-infused cheese that we now buy, eat at home, and give to our friends and family, The machines are really easy to use and we were on our way bottling with glee in no time. Brittany also used her awesome skills to create some very memorable and gorgeous labels for our wedding wine bottles, plus a couple of special labels as thank-you gifts to our Maid of Honour. Her label-making skills are top notch, right down to the font choices.
Everyone at our wedding LOVED the wine, so much so that we actually didn’t have much left for ourselves after the wedding. A few people couldn’t even believe that the wine we served was “home made wine” because the flavour, particularly the red, was so on point. We will definitely be going back to Winescape to make more batches of wine for ourselves, our family, and our friends, in the near future.
