The Towne Winer

As someone who’s been brewing beer for years I was interested in getting into making wine as well. I ended up meeting Barrie when I was buying some equipment from his shop and he took multiple hours out of his day to explain to me the process of making wine. It’s clear to me that Barrie's knowledge and passion about wine making are second to none. I’ve been to many home brewing and wine shops over the years and without a doubt this has been by far the best shop I’ve been to. I hope to return to the Towne Winer again soon.

Had a great experience buying some bottles and bottling equipment. Barrie was very helpful and very fair pricing! Would definitely return for future purchases!

Barrie and Liz turned our 140 liters of 'soft' apple cider into hard cider. Turned out fantastic--beautiful colour, sensational taste. It's a real labour of love for Barrie and it shows. Really great experience.

Barrie is super-knowlegeable and very helpful. I was shopping for supplies to make cider and wine. Barrie took the time to answer all of my questions and provide me with lots of helpful advice. The Towne Winer is a gem for wine enthusiasts.

Came in to The Towne Winer looking for supplies for making Mead and met Bear. He shared his knowledge and steered me in the right direction towards hardware and even giving me tips and insight on processes to improve the final product. He also offered me an amazing deal on second hand items in 10/10 condition! They also have great knowledge of the hospitality scene in Guelph which was a plus for me since I have just moved here. Thanks Bear! Will definitely return!

Amazing service and selection of wines. Barrie is highly knowledgeable and helped my fiance and I choose wines for our wedding. Great prices for the product!

The town winer staff are super helpful. Helped me with my dandilion wine a few years ago. Came back to get my supplies for this year's batch.

Great experience at The Winer! 'The Bear' and Lizzie set me up with all the equipment and much needed know-how to get me started with wine making. I really appreciated the discussion and enthusiasm, and I’m looking forward to returning for future wine making needs. Give this place a stop by if making wine is something you're passionate about or if it's something you want to get into!
