Program Description

This program provides structured instruction for home fermentation enthusiasts and beginners interested in producing custom wines at home. The course introduces foundational oenological principles, proper sanitation practices, and equipment selection adapted specifically to domestic production settings without requiring industrial winery infrastructure.

The curriculum encompasses four core instructional modules that guide participants through the production of white wine, red wine, fruit wine, mead, and sake. Key training topics include raw fruit preparation, must clarification, sugar measurement using an Oechsle hydrometer, acid titration in laboratory demonstrations, fermentation management, sulfiting procedures, and fining techniques utilizing bentonite or gelatin.

Instruction is delivered through an online member portal featuring over 25 instructional videos alongside illustrated guides, printable checklists, and automated calculation spreadsheets for exact sugar enrichment. Course materials are accessible on desktop and mobile devices, with higher enrollment tiers including one-on-one remote coaching sessions.
