Wines by Design

We’re in the business of helping you make wine! Whether you’re just starting out, or if you’re already an experienced vintner, we can help. Stop by for some instruction and help with your first batch or stop by for some supplies. We’ll be here!

Quality, without the cost

Wines By Design has been in business since 2006. While some things have changed, our love of quality wine production hasn’t! Whether you enjoy red or white, dry to sweet, we have something for everyone!

Let the wine making begin.

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.

Juice Sale 2024

Juice Sale 2024

Once again, Wines By Design is having a Fresh Juice Sale!

For those of you who are home vintners (or even those who want to start): We’re having our annual Fresh Juice sale. Once again, we have a very nice selection of whites and reds (see Our 2024 Juice Sale list below).

Our address is 3392 Buffalo Rd, Rochester, NY 14624. We will be taking orders here through September 27th 2024 during normal business hours. (Tues-Fri 3:30p-7:30p and Sat 9a-2p)

We are currently planning on Friday, October 4, 2024, as the delivery date.

We are trying to finalize the location for this year’s delivery and will update this post as soon as we have a location locked up.

Juice will be delivered in 5 gallon plastic pails and be available for ONE DAY ONLY. Juice MUST be picked up on the day the truck arrives. We CANNOT hold any juice beyond that day. Your receipt will be necessary for you to obtain your juice. Any unclaimed juice will be forfeited and your money will be refunded.

Please note: Our supplier adds sulfites to the fresh juice. This may effect fermentation if you choose to use wild yeast only.

Note: Wines By Design acts as a shipping agent only and is not responsible for the quality of the juice.

Reminder: You can keep up to date with what’s happening at Wines By Design by signing up for our newsletter on our Contact page.

Recipe: Smoky Chorizo & Chicken Chili

Unlike Mexican chorizo, Spanish chorizo is dry-cured and gives a mild, spicy-sweetness to flavourful chili that is also accented with smoky
paprika and chipotle pepper.

Would pair nicely with LE23 Tempranillo Shiraz.

Recipe: Shrimp Curry

This vibrant dish is part stir-fry, part soup and will wake up your weeknight dinner menu.

Would pair nicely with LE23 Semillon Sauvignon Blanc.

Recipe: Prosciutto & Olive Pizza

This flatbread pizza can be thrown together quickly for a simple supper to serve with mixed greens, or as a tasty nibbler to serve at any casual get-together.

Would pair nicely with LE23 Nebbiolo.

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!
