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.

2024 Wine Tasting Competition Results
Well that was nice day!
The WBD Wine Tasting Competition (2024) is complete!
We would like to once again thank everyone who contributed their wines to this year’s wine-tasting event. There was a great selection of wines this year and (from what we hear, because as there wasn’t much left for us to try), they were great!
We had four categories this year: Red (1 & 2), White, and Dessert/Fruit. There were so many red wine entries that we split them into 2 groups. As a quick reminder, each category wins a $50 gift certificate to WBD, with the winner with the highest number of votes receiving an additional $50 gift certificate.
OK… drum roll please… without further ado:
2024 WBD Wine Tasting winners ($50 gift certificates)
- Red 1: Gary LaToy – WineMaker’s Trio Red
- Red 2: (Mr.) Copek – Nebbiolo / Barolo
- White: Steve Elensky – RQ Muscat
- Fruit/Sweet: Jasmine Smith – Pomegranate Zinfandel
2024 WBD Wine Tasting overall winner (an additional $50 gift certificate)
- Overall: Steve Elensky – RQ Muscat
Congratulations to all!
Some of you had asked, so here’s a list of this year’s entries!

Recipe: Pancetta Egg Pasta
So simple, yet so wonderful to the very last noodle-y slurp!
Goes great with LE23 WineMaker’s Blend.

We’re opening up our space
We’re excited to announce that we’re making our space available for your team building and small group events.
We’ve recently had the opportunity to host a couple of small groups and parties in our space, and they went over swimmingly. So much so that we are looking to host additional small groups and/or team-building events.
So far, we have hosted workshops, graduation parties, team-building events, and even a Bunco night!
This will be by reservation only, and we are planning on keeping this relatively small, as a result, we won’t be booking a large number of events. We also understand that our space is limited, so we plan to keep the group size to 30 attendees or below.
Please note: While the pictures of food look great, we are offering a space only. This particularly beautiful (and delicious) spread was provided by Artfully Arranged.
If you are interested in hosting your small group or team event with us, please feel free to check in (by email or phone) and find out what dates are available.
While prices are subject to change, we will start at $50 per hour for the space.
Recipe: Best Skillet Steak
The key to this mouthwatering steak is the flipping technique. While it requires more attention than a traditional method, the results are more than worth it!
Goes great with LE23 Bobal Cab Sauv.

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!
