How to Make Wine for Wedding: Complete Guide and FAQs
First off, you have contacted the right place to make wine for wedding. We have made wine for thousands of weddings, either to be served at the function or as a great gift for your guests. Here are some frequently asked questions and answers regarding the winemaking process.
Liquor License
You will need to apply for a Special Occasion License if you intend to serve the wine at your wedding. Click here for details.
No license is required if you intend to give the wine away as your wedding favors.
Does the Venue Allow YOU TO MAKE WINE FOR WEDDING?
Confirm with the location you have chosen that they allow you to bring your own wine (even if it is for gifts).
If you plan to serve the wine at your venue and they allow it, find out if there is a corkage fee. A corkage fee is a service charge (charged per bottle) for serving the wine.
Here is a third-party drink calculator to help you judge consumption. Generally speaking, people consume red wine to white wine at a ratio of 2/3 to 1/3.
Winemaking Visits
There are two visits involved to make your wine. The visits are 5-6 weeks apart. The first is a quick visit (5-10 minutes) to pay for the wine and start the fermentation. The second visit is to bottle the finished product—count on about 30 minutes per batch.
Here are our wine selections priced in batches of 28-30 bottles.
