Tropical Winemaking 101

Learn how to make your own wine from tropical fruit at home with minimal equipment

Did you know that you can ferment wine in only a couple of weeks? A lot of people don't know that making your own wine is really easy and can be a fun hobby.

Usually wine is made from grapes, but wines are made all around the world out of all kinds of fruit. I always say you can make wine out of just about anything; all you need is fruit juice, yeast, and sometimes added sugar. But considering how many kinds of fresh fruit are available in Florida, tropical fruit wine is an easy place to start. You might not make the best tasting wine at first, but with some practice and basic knowledge, you can perfect your wine. This class will take the mystery out of the process and give you the knowledge you need to make your own delicious wine from tropical fruits at home.

Dan Durica lives at Dancing Rabbit Ecovillage in Missouri where he has his own vineyard. He's been making wine for over 30 years and each year puts up a new vintage of his grape wine. You can see more about his life and his winemaking on his Youtube channel Hardcore Sustainable.
