Welcome to our Web Winery!!!Our Mission:To help you craft commercial-quality wines at non-commercial pricing! A Bit About Us...The Towne Winer opened in 2003 in the south- end of Guelph at the Downey Road Plaza (see map). The proprietors both have their own areas of expertise: Barrie(a.k.a. The Winer) started to make wine 35 years ago while Liz has 25 years experience in the gift trade. Our micro winery features Riedel: the world's best stemware, wine and gourmet gifts, the newly introduced RESISTech lead-free crystal wine stems plus essential wine accessories. Our award wining wines are vinted from the world’s best wine kits, 100% pasteurized juices and locally sourced Niagara Peninsula varietal juices. Beyond the sales counter is the walk-in cooler, bottling area with prep sinks, bottling supplies and equipment.
Why Wine With Us?
SOMETHING TO WINE ABOUTNew Wine On Tap
Choosing a premium wine on tap system instead of carbon-inefficient heavy glass bottles reduces packaging waste by at least 85% and carbon emissions by 55% without sacrificing quality. It saves green, too; a 7 liter dispenser of wine holds the equivalent of 9 glass bottles but costs much less plus new technology keeps air out and preserves flavor in for at least six months once the package is open. Bottle one or two bottles of wine for comparison when filling the recyclable bags! Girl’s Night Out @ The Towne Winer

Taste The Difference With Reidel!
If you've never had the pleasure of tasting wine from a Reidel glass, you're in for a pleasant surprise. What an improvement from the typical wine stem! Enhanced bouquet, greater length, increased complexity and accentuated characteristics of the varietal. Simply put, wines tastes different in different shaped glasses. Choosing the glass appropriate to the varietal is a good start, and when it is good quality stemware too, you'll be serving your wine at its very best! |

I made my first batch of wine with Towne Winer, and I have to say that they made it a very enjoyable experience……they spend a lot of time with me to make sure that I was getting the wine that I liked and I was not just settling with anything Paul
Paul Paquette
I continue to enjoy making wine at the Towne Winer and getting all my
sponsorship gift baskets made up there. Barbara E Fisk, Always great wines. We have yet to have a batch we were not thrilled with. Good enough to convince my wine-snob sister-in-law that non-commercial wines are not to be shunned! And there's generally a good conversation while you're bottling too! Barney Tracy Elizabeth Reemeyer, a Cambridge client and long-time friend of The Winer and Liz says what sets The Towne Winer apart from the other DIY on-premise places is how clean everything is kept. "When you're making a food product, cleanliness is not optional, it's essential. The music is on, the expert is on-site if I have any questions. The Winer has great instincts when it comes to knowing what to do to bring out the best in a varietal." |
