Course
Winemaking at Home: An Introduction
Course Overview
Minnesota may not be Sonoma County or the Napa Valley but that doesn’t mean we can’t produce and appreciate delicious wine right here in the Upper Midwest. Join Minnesota winemaker Ann Tessneer for an informative session that will cover wine tasting and the basics of producing rhubarb and fruit wines at home. Though there are lots of steps between harvesting rhubarb and quaffing the first sips of wine, each student will take home a recipe, hands-on experience with the first steps of the process, familiarity with the equipment necessary to produce wine at home, and a bottle of finished wine from the instructor’s winery. This is a great introduction to a hobby that will last a lifetime.
