Hi Guys
We have a number of courses coming up
listed below is one of our major events
Every year Home Make It run Advanced Homemade Winemaking Courses for the wine enthusiast. Our students range from people looking to make their own wine at home, to the amateur winemaker that is looking to improve their knowledge and understanding to make a better drop. The courses are educative workshops that cover the entire winemaking process. Students are provided with detailed winemaking processing fact sheets, as well as developing hands on experience making a batch of wine over 6 nights. These evening sessions are spread over the year with each night focusing on the different stages in the winemaking process. The idea of the course is to encourage each student to take what they learn from each night, at each stage of the winemaking process, and put that into practice on their own batch of wine at home.
