Welcome to Wines By Design!
We are a full service, on-premises wine making facility and wine-making kit supplier, located in Rochester NY. If you’re interested in making your own wine, come on in and we can help! We have hosted families, small groups, wedding parties and corporate team building events.
Or, if you are already an experienced vintner and are simply looking for supplies, we can help with that too. While our primary focus is wine-kits, check in with us, if we don’t have it in stock, we can probably get it for you!
For more detail on how your time will be spent making your very own wine, please see: our process.

Recipe: Chocolate Truffles
Chocolate pairs SOooooooo nicely with a red wine!
We like the En Primeur Malbec, the Eclipse Old Vine Zinfandel, or a nice GSM (Grenache, Syrah, Mourvèdre) with this…
(Hint: You remember that Valentine’s Day is coming, right?)

From our friends at Winexpert: Terremoto Tempranillo!

And another year is in the books! Again, a quick “Thank You”!
To those of you who contributed: Thanks for sharing your wine. They were all delicious!
To those of you who stopped by, tasted, and voted: Thanks for all of your “hard work”!
It was a pleasure to see all of you (and meet some of you).
It’s always a fun time for us, we trust that it was for you as well.

A Night at Home
What’s better than a night by the fire, some artisan cheese and a bottle of terrific wine you’ve made yourself?
We heard many great things about you, so we decided to check you out for ourselves.
(BTW: They were right!)
We cannot say enough good things about Wines By Design. The quality of the wine is better than most bottles of wine you can buy at the store, plus you get to tell your friends and family you made it on your own!
