Oak Barrels

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


About Us

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.

Beyond the Grape signIn 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.
