Welcome to Winemaking Kits

Good news for the 2012 season!

Since 2005, when we started with the 6-bottle kits, we did continuous research and tested various other options for the kits. The kits should meet the following demands:

• it should be based on the success of the 6-bottle kits, but volumes should be higher so equipment can be utilised optimally
• the wannabe winemaker should master the art of winemaking through practical experience and enjoy the satisfaction of it
• it should be affordable
• the self-made wine should be of the same (or better) standard than cellar wines
• the price-per-bottle of the self-made wine has to be competitive with similar standard mass-produced wines
• the kit should be available in two parts: equipment and consumables
• the equipment should be re-usable, while the consumables should be available on a yearly basis

Last season we marketed a limited quantity of the 30-bottle kit in the Cape with incredible success. The kit met all the above criteria and feedback from clients were very positive. We decided to replace the 6-bottle kit with the improved 30-bottle kit. For an additional R540 you can now make 24 more bottles of wine!

We also provide a bigger, 60-bottle kit which comes with its own 50 liter oak barrel. Additional equipment is added to this kit to help you with the bulkier winemaking process.

Please note: we still provide consumables for the 6-bottle kit, but don't provide the kit itself.
