The initial inspiration or spark that lead to the beginnings of Monkey Winery was a desire to share some of our fresh apples and plums with family members that are out of the country. Unfortunately, due to customs limitations, the idea of taking fresh fruit was not going to happen. At the beginning of 2017 the thought came to us to turn our fruits into dessert wines so that we could take these dessert wines to our family out of country. We stopped at our local brew store, Olympic Brewing Supplies, and the team there provided us with all the basic knowledge to move into the wine making process. Thank you, Olympic Brewing Supplies as you played a part in helping make Monkey Winery come to life to join the the other wineries. We were very excited to try the wine making kit that we had purchased and made the decision to purchase enough nectarines to make our first five gallons of wine. Since we were not wine drinkers ourselves, we decided to share much of our wine with many of our friends. Thank you to all our friends and family for the honest feedback and encouragement to push forward in the process to start Monkey Winery.
Currently, most of our produce is grown on our residential property for our winery. We do have a five acre parcel that will be utilized later on as we grow and produce more dessert wines. We do not use any pesticides on our produce that we grow. Our bananas are from organic sources as well. We fertilize with in house compost that is created with the fruit remains from previous batches of dessert wines as well as plant materials left over from growing. Many wineries are focused on the environment and we are doing our part to help as well..
Some of the comments that we receive when we are telling others about our dessert wines are, "You can make wine with that?", "I want to try that!" We are a homemade style fruit winery. If you wanted to go to the trouble to buy the equipment and choose your own fruit and process it to make your own wine, well that is what we do. We enjoy making many different wines but of course we do have our favorites. With the great variety of fruits that we use you are sure to find something that will be enjoyable. If not, let us know and we will look into this further to provide you with the most pleasurable wine experience with a different take than other wineries.
