The Homebuilt Winery

Make Great Wine Without Spending a Fortune on EquipmentWhether you have a cellar stocked with homemade vintages or are a recent convert to the rewards of home winemaking, you are likely to need some new equipment.

Each project includes thorough step-by-step instructions, building diagrams, an illustration of the completed piece, and instructions for use.A home winemaker and experienced builder himself, Steve Hughes understands every step in the winemaking process and has designed projects that are useful and durable, yet easy to build with only basic carpentry skills and materials. Using his building plans, you can do anything from replacing a few worn pieces to building an entire home winery.
