    • Prices include the cost of the juice, our service fees, corks, and all applicable taxes. Bottles, labels, and shrink caps are optional extras which are sold separately.

    • Customers must be 19 or older.

    • To satisfy our license with the AGCO customers are expected to assist us with the bottling process at the end of production. This is the fun part though! Where you get to sample the wine and help us cork bottles. It takes approximately 30 minutes to complete.

    • Wines can not be shipped or delivered, they must be picked up at our retail location in Guelph, Ontario

    Frequently Asked Questions

    We would love to not have to include this step, but our license to produce wine has some strict rules which include our customers being required to "pitch" yeast before wine production can begin. This is simply opening a package of yeast and pouring it into a beaker. It takes about 30 seconds!

    You can also send a friend or family member in your place to finalize the process.

    Wines are produced over 7 weeks after your purchase is finalized.

    Great question! We will contact you either by phone or email once we have completed production of your wine. From there we can schedule a time for you to visit us in-store to assist us in the sampling and bottling process.

    Unfortunately we are not able to offer delivery or shipping of wines made on-site at KJ. The AGCO requires that all wine made on premise be picked up by the purchaser, or a designated (19+) representative.

    Absolutely! Blending is something we're big believers in. We're not quite set up to offer blending options on our website right now. But we can arrange to make a special blend over the phone or by visiting us in-store to place the order.

    Absolutely! We can add oak to your wine - we offer three different oaking regimens (light, medium, and heavy).

    We can also make your wine off-dry. This means leaving some of the natural sugar in the wine - this makes the wine taste sweeter.

    Feel free to leave us a comment in the order notes with any customizations you would like.
