About Boston Winery

At Boston Winery, you will own your own barrel.  Our state-of-the-art facility and our onsite wine experts will guarantee your success.

Snug inside a Civil War-era brick and stone building beside his landmark Venezia Restaurant, vintner Ralph Bruno has opened the doors to his new pride and joy:  The Boston Winery—the only winery of its kind in New England.

The Boston Winery was created with one thing in mind:  To offer people the unique opportunity to enjoy making their own wine with family and friends.  Here you can make superb wine in an historic location with some of the finest Californian and European wine makers to guide you.  Our newly renovated 12,000 square foot facility is located in the Port Norfolk area of Boston and adjacent to the prestigious Venezia Restaurant.

It was Ralph Bruno’s dream to share his knowledge of making superb wine and to teach others how to enjoy this experience.  From his childhood in Abruzzi, Italy, where his family was known for making excellent wines, to his adulthood in the North End of Boston, Ralph Bruno has always had an appreciation of family, friends, food, and wine.  When Ralph was a teenager, he purchased a bakery in the North End.  Here he made delicious Italian breads and biscotti, and continued to perfect his winemaking skills at every opportunity.  For the past twenty years, Ralph has listened patiently to the opinions of his friends regarding adverse reactions that some have to commercial wines.  Now he is sharing his remedy by teaching others to make their own.     

“Life is about family,” says Mr. Bruno.  “It is about good times, food, wine, friends, music, and conversation.”  In this manner, the Bruno family continues to share their knowledge and experience making great food and wine, and helping others learn to enjoy the benefits of good living.  Mr. Bruno continues, “If you put all the riches and money in the world together and it disappeared... what would anyone have left?  We would have bread and wine.  And I would know how to make it, and share it with my family and friends.  That is what life is all about.”

 

Mr. Bruno and his team of Boston Winery winemakers

are the winners of 45 prestigious awards.
