A: YES! In fact, in the past two years Conner’s Wine Cellar has won more medals in international amateur wine making competitions than almost any other U-Vins in British Columbia. We take wine making extremely seriously, and believe that we must continuously put our wines to the test if we want to maintain the loftily high quality that our customers have come to expect.
We decided early on to only shoot for the stars, which is why we enter our wine in the World’s Largest, most elite and internationally well known wine competition for non-commercial wine makers – The WineMaker Magazine International Amateur Wine Competition.
Here are our 2008 and 2009 results:
Over 4,300 entries from around the world were judged in Vermont... »View More

A: Just 3 weeks! And unlike wine, beer doesn’t need to be aged – it goes into your bottles ice-cold, crystal clear, and ready to drink that day – you only have to wait as long as it takes you to get home. Of course, you probably won’t be consuming all 60 bottles the day you bottled it, but don’t worry – as long as you store it in a cool dark place, it will keep for up to six months. Just like high quality commercially crafted beer, we don’t add any preservatives – neither will last more than half a year, but seriously… that’s barely 2 bottles a week … we’re sure you’ll be back for more long before 6 months is up!

A: We’re located at the corner of South Sumas and Unsworth Road, in the Legacy Pacific Industrial Park. Whether you’re heading west on South Sumas, or north on Unsworth via Kieth Wilson, you can’t miss us!
If you’re coming from the Chilliwack side, you can follow Vedder Road south until you reach South Sumas, or better yet, take the new Evans Road overpass and follow Evans all the way south until you hit South Sumas, take a right, and we’re at the next intersection!
We’re only minutes from Garrison Crossing, but refreshingly removed from the heavy traffic areas. We’re easy to access, and ALWAYS have plenty of parking available!

A: When you first visit our store to order your wine, you are legally required to pay for all ingredients prior to starting the manufacturing process. You must also sign a declaration stating that you are using the product for personal use, and won’t be attempting to re-sell it. You are then required to pitch the yeast into a fermentation vessel to begin the fermentation process. Once you’ve chosen the type of wine you want, these steps will only take about 2 minutes of your time.
Your second visit will be 4 to 8 weeks later, depending on the type of wine you purchased. At this time you must sterilize your bottles, then fill and cork them. You may also affix labels and shrink tops if you wish. We always include these... »View More
