NOW AVAILABLE: A True Niagara Classic!
We are thrilled to announce an upcoming addition to our lineup at Wine Kitz Brantford—the newest release from the VineCo Estate Series: Niagara Merlot!
Crafted with 100% locally sourced grapes right here from Ontario’s renowned Niagara region, this 6-week premium kit showcases a classic varietal that thrives in our local terroir, yielding expressive, fruit-driven reds with exceptional natural balance and finesse.
Tasting Profile & Characteristics:
Fruit-forward and beautifully balanced, this medium-bodied red opens with ripe black cherry and blackberry flavours layered with notes of sweet spice, vanilla, and subtle oak. Soft, velvety tannins create a smooth, approachable palate, while its polished structure delivers real depth and elegance from the first sip to the last. Ready on just 6 weeks!

Pre-Order Your Batch Today! Released Mid-September

October 4 – National Taco Day
Whether you’re serving up classic seasoned beef, zesty carnitas, or fresh fish tacos, skip the usual cerveza and elevate Taco Tuesday with a craft wine pairing. A crisp, off-dry Riesling or Gewürztraminer beautifully tames spicy salsas and jalapeños, while a fruit-forward Malbec or Syrah cuts through rich cheddar and seasoned meats. Stop in to craft your next batch so your cellar is fully stocked for snack-and-sip night!
October 9 – Mouldy Cheese Day
Don’t let the name fool you—Mouldy Cheese Day is the ultimate excuse to indulge in rich blues, creamy Camembert, and aged Gorgonzola. The secret to a perfect pairing lies in balancing bold, complex fats with equally vibrant wines. Pair pungent blue cheeses with a velvety, rich red or a sweet dessert wine, or opt for a crisp, high-acid white to slice through creamy brie. Visit us to start a batch that will bring out the best in your next charcuterie board.
October 15 – National Chicken Cacciatore Day
This classic hunter-style Italian dish brings together tender chicken, sweet bell peppers, onions, and a rich, herb-infused tomato sauce. To complement those savoury, simmered flavours, reach for a medium-bodied, acid-driven red like a Sangiovese or Chianti-style blend that seamlessly cuts through the tomato base. Stop by to pick up your favourite Italian-style kit and ensure your dinner table is always dinner-party ready.
October 21 – Apple Day
Celebrate peak harvest season by bringing the crisp taste of autumn into your glass. Beyond fresh pies and ciders, apple-infused dishes and pork chops with apple reduction pair brilliantly with bright, orchard-forward white wines like Pinot Grigio or a lightly oaked Chardonnay. Drop into the store to start a refreshing, fruit-filled batch that captures the very best flavours of the fall season.
October 25 – World Pasta Day
From rich, slow-simmered Bolognese to delicate garlic-and-oil linguine, there’s no better comfort food than a piping-hot plate of pasta. Match rich meat sauces with a bold Cabernet Sauvignon or Merlot, or pair creamy Alfredo and seafood pasta with a clean, citrusy Sauvignon Blanc. Come by to craft a batch of your favourite varietal so you always have the perfect bottle on hand to toast to Italian classics.
