MAKING WINE ON OUR PREMISES
All DeFalco locations are licensed by the Alcohol and Gaming Commission of Ontario (AGCO) and strictly adhere to the Rules and Regulations as set forth when operating a Ferment/U-Vint On-Premise (FOP). As per the AGCO, any individual making wine in a Ferment/U-Vint On-Premise (FOP) requires the customer to be “On The Premises” and “Actively Participating” while initially starting the wine as well as at its conclusion during the bottling process.
We’ve worked hard to earn your business and the products you make with us will be sealed and unopened in its’ original packaging until the time of mixing (no plain unmarked packaging is available at any of our locations). The wine style that you paid for will be the wine style that you will bottle.
