"Wine to me is passion. It’s family and friends. It’s warmth of heart and generosity of spirit. Wine is art. It’s culture. It’s the essence of civillization and the art of living"
- Robert Mondavi
Our Services
Ferment on Premise
We are a licensed ferment-on-premise establishment that crafts small batches of wine from scratch for individual customers. Making your own wine with us is simple and only requires two small steps, adding the yeast to start the fermentation and coming back to bottle your wine. Our professional wine makers to the rest!
Wine Online
Wine Online allows customers to browse through all of our available wines and purchase right from the comfort of their own home. Once the purchase has been completed you will receive an email to make an appointment to come in and drop the yeast, this will officially start the fermentation. When your wine is ready you will receive another email to bottle the wine.

Our History
Borrelli Wines all starts with our founder Luigi Borrelli. Luigi immigrated to Canada in 1948 from Calabria, Italy and in 1952 he pursued his passion of Italian gourmet foods & wines by opening his own Italian grocery store in the heart of Little Italy located on Erie St. in Windsor, Ontario. Along with providing his community with quality foods from Italy he also imported premium grade wine grapes from California and serviced home wine-makers from all over Southwestern Ontario and Detroit, Michigan.
Luigi mentored and guided his two sons Max and Louie to grow the business and eventually take over the operations in 1989 when Luigi retired. This was the beginning of the next generation’s journey in entrepreneurship. The two sons rapidly and successfully grew and expanded the gourmet food business while also opening a completely local wine-making facility. Today, Borrelli Wines is proud to offer many varieties of wine-making juices, equipment, supplies, and of course fresh grapes during September’s harvesting season in California. Making wine at our facility and the annual grape season has become renowned by Windsor & Detroit winemakers and wine enthusiasts. Come and join the world of wine making at Borrelli Wines!
