Wine Making DemonstrationChocolate & Wine Festival
Home Wine Making Demonstration

Join Steve & Jan Castrogiovanni, Doug Puzo and Rusty Ely as they teach the ins and outs of making wine at home. They began their winemaking adventure ten years ago and in that time have learned all the mistakes and successes and have enjoyed the fruits of those triumphant batches that came out perfectly.

Red Wine glassSpecializing in fruit wines such as strawberry, blueberry, etc. and traditional grape wines, they expanded their knowledge to include different meads. A "mead" is a fermented alcoholic beverage made of honey, water, and yeast also colloquially known as "honey wine".

The demonstration is something you won't want to miss if you're an avid wine enthusiast! Below is their schedule for the demonstration. Also, they will have wine kits and other supplies available for you.

3:00 PM Start batch of fruit wine
4:00 PM Rack and filter a batch of wine
5:00 PM Demo bottling and blending
6:00 PM Build a wine kit that will be raffled off including the batch started at 3 PM.
6:30 PM Raffle of wine kit ($250 value) - proceeds benefit the new hospital & library

The Chocolate & Wine Festival is excited to have these talented people share their expertise. We know you'll enjoy what they have to share with you.

The wine making kit used in this demonstration donated by Antler Ridge Winery.
