About Us

Paul Sass founded The Home Vintner in 1993, after many years as a commercial airline pilot, to pursue his passion for fine wines. His number one committment was to quality, and he quickly adopted the phrase which still guides The Home Vintner – “NEVER COMPROMISE ON QUALITY!”

The Home Vintner carries a wide selection of premium wine and beer kits, guaranteed to please the most discriminating connoisseur.  We offer award winning kits by Winexpert produced from varietal wine juices of superior vineyards around the world, and full malt Barons beer kits.

We conduct Wine & Beer Making Classes for our customers and our staff of Certified Winemakers provide ongoing technical advice and assistance to ensure a positive and pleasurable experience in hand-crafting your own fine wines & beer.

Our customers have won 684 Winemaking Awards at the prestigious Annual Provincial and National wine judging events, which we believe attests to the quality of Winexpert kits as well as The Home Vintner’s continuing technical support. We have also won Winemaker of the Year and Brewmaster of the Year awards over the years.

You can hand-craft fine wines & beer  in your own home at a fraction of the cost of commercially produced products and with much less chemical content.

Join Paul at one of our Wine & Beer Making Classes as he demonstrates the making of a wine & beer kit from start to finish.  Thirty-six years of experience shared so that the novice can be successful on their first attempt!  Paul guides you through every step – from start-up , to racking, the importance of the hydrometer, C02 removal, bottling,  the importance of a good quality cork, to storage.  The charge for this class is $25.00 per person, minimum age 18.   It is very important to us that wine and beer makers realize the difference between our excellent, award winning kits compared to many cheaper varieties on the market.  Click here to see our class schedule.
