Beyond the Grape offers oak barrel aging for selected wines. This process not only adds oak flavour it also creates other qualities that oak chips can’t, such as more body, colour and richness. Oak barrel aging costs $30 plus taxes. This process can take up to 3 additional months after all ten wines are ready for the barrel. The following wine kits are currently being sold at the location listed. Check back regularly to see what is new to go into the barrels.
Newport: Italian Sangiovese
Newport: Australian Shiraz
Burnaby: Australian Cabernet Shiraz
In 1999 Beyond The Grape On Premise Winemaking opened at Newport Village in Port Moody.
Beyond The Grape quickly gained a reputation for excellence in wine making and its wine making experience.
In 2000 Beyond The Grape had the opportunity to hire Chris Dowler and Evan Hooson. They joined us with many
years of vintning experience. In March of 2001 Jim and Sandra Croney purchased Beyond The Grape.
Jim and Sandra liked the company for its many years of vintners experience in addition to its dedication to
quality and customer service. These qualities still exist today even as the company has
expanded to two stores. In December of 2001 Beyond The Grape purchased the former Valley Estates store
on North Road. Michael Druce (Jim & Sandra's son in law) started with the Newport store shortly after it
was purchased and now is the manager at the Burnaby store. Because of our many years of vintners experience
and the excellent technical support given to us by our major supplier
Winexpert, we are able to offer a
100% guarantee on all of our wines.
To make your bottling experience more efficient and enjoyable,
we have a four head bottle filler and an automatic corker
at both locations, as well as a large selection of shrink wraps and labels. Both locations have a beautiful
retail section containing a unique selection of wine related giftware and accessories, as well as a great
selection of products and equipment for the at home wine maker. We look forward to seeing you in one of
our two stores and happy vintning.
We do everything possible to ensure our customer's complete satisfaction with our service and their
finished product. We do not compromise on quality. By combining the finest equipment and latest techniques
with the
Winexpert
line of products the resulting product is the best.
We guarantee your complete satisfaction. We will replace any product not up to your expectations or
refund your money (Minimum product return applies). We want YOU to be happy!
