Fermentations!

Amazing people and experience. If you have any level of knowledge, I encourage you to try them out. My Apex IPA is delicious! They have a love for their craft and great humour.

If you are interested in making your own wine and beer, to be advised by one of the most knowledgeable people in the city, this is the place. Charles knowledgeable insite will bring you home outstanding wines, which you will be proud to share with friends and family.

We have been doing wine with Charles since 2012 when we did wine for our wedding. He and his staff are very knowledgeable and always help us pick the perfect wine. Tip: we always get our next case (single or triple!) ordered when we bottle the one before! It’s a great cycle! Thanks for 7 years of great service!

What an incredibly fun, nice and interesting time we had at Fermentations! (!!). We went into Fermentations on a cold February winterday '22. Inside it was warm, not just by temperature. Charles is not only extremely knowledgeable, but also just a lovely and fun person; great storyteller! We got a gift receipt for bottling our own wine from our friends, so we got to pick a grape. After tasting multiple nice flavours we got into a (for us) new type of wine which would be ready to be bottled in 2 months or so. Because of our schedules we were able to bottle the wine last week. It was great fun! The guidance of Charles was great on the how-to and he has all the right answers. We got to design our own label; superfun! If you're short on time, pls have a rough idea and pictures ready for what you prefer on the label. We ended up with great red wine, light yet very tasteful, perfect for summer nights! I really recommend going to Charles and his team on the Danforth for your own wine. Or gift someone an experience like this; you will not regret it!

Haven't had the level of customer service and attention in a LONG time that France showed my wife-to-be and I picking out making our wine for our upcoming wedding. She took us through almost the entire selection of wines, allowed us to sample a variety of wines from different years and ultimately led us to select wine then and there.The wine is truly phenomenal and the atmosphere is absolutely fantastic. Looking forward to the finished product next year. If you're looking for a place to make your own wine, this is absolutely it.

I love trying new beer. I love brewing my own beer at home. I also absolutely love going to Fermentations! to have my beer brewed there.I learn something new every time I go in. The staff are super friendly and knowledgeable. Oscar even helped me with an idea for a new recipe today (Milk Chocolate Orange Coffee Porter!)I haven't done the beer school, but I can vouch that I've learned enough from osmosis just by being there that you will learn an immense amount about brewing from that experience.Oh, and they press their own grapes if you're in to that sort of thing. Seriously, go call them right now and get a batch on.

If you are curious about fermenting your own wine this is definitely the place to start. The staff, especially the owner are extremely helpful and knowledgeable and will help you though every step of the process and answer any question you might have. The prices are on par with buying from Amazon but you will have a much much better experience visiting this shop and supporting local small-business.

My first experience bottling my own wine was so easy and pleasant that I immediately put on another batch to do it all again in a few months. Modern, clean, knowledgeable, and so friendly! If you're a regular wine-drinker it's *so* worth it, and not at all intimidating for a beginner. I'm excited to learn more!

I have been going here for years. I ended up at Fermentations after trying out several other brew your own places and never being quite happy with the quality. Charles and Chris have always need great to work with. Their passion for the product be it beer, wine or one of the many other brews comes through with great results every time. I am happy to recommend this place . Thanks Guys!
