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.
Wines By Design – COVID-19 update 2
Once again, we’d like to announce additional changes to how we will do business at Wines By Design.
Wines By Design – COVID-19 update
In an effort to adhere to the new guidance from NYS and Monroe county concerning the COVID-19 outbreak, we at Wines By Design (WBD) will begin to implement some new internal procedures for the immediate future.
2020 Wine Tasting Competition – Postponed
The 2020 Wine Tasting Event (has been postponed)!
Due to the guidance of the CDC and followed up by recommendations from NYS and Monroe county, we are postponing the annual Wine Tasting Competition that was scheduled for March 21, 2020.
We were certainly looking forward to it, but it’s much more important to be safe.
2020 Wine Tasting Competition
The 2020 Wine Tasting Event!
On Saturday, March 21 from 12p – 4p we are holding our annual competitive tasting event.
2020 Wine Tasting Competition – Postponed
It’s here! (Annnddd, it’s gone.)
The annual WBD Wine Tasting Competition has been postponed.
It’s with heavy hearts that we are announcing the postponement of our annual Wine Competition.
Due to the guidance of the CDC regarding the coronavirus (COVID-19) and followed up by recommendations from NYS and Monroe county, we are postponing the annual Wine Tasting Competition that was scheduled for March 21, 2020. We were certainly looking forward to it, but it’s much more important to be safe.
All entries will be kept in our “wine cellar” for automatic entry into the Wine Tasting Competition once we know when it’s safe to be rescheduled.
In addition, we have been informed by our area school systems that the Spring Continuing Education classes (“Wine Making Made Simple”) have been canceled. (You will need to reach out to the school you registered with for additional information.)
We will continue to be open for “normal” business, but we will reserve the right to space people out as appropriate. This MAY mean that you may have to postpone or delay bottling your wine.
Remember: We can do the middle steps for you. Some of you have set up appointments to do the middle steps. If you are uncomfortable coming out, or would simply like to continue staying home, we are happy to do them for you.
(Additionally: If you don’t show up at your scheduled time, we will go ahead and do it for you.)

Wedding
Why not share your special day with all your guests? Let them take home part of your special day, a bottle of your very own wedding vintage.
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!
