About the Business
Vintner’s Cellar is a premium wine making store. Our main service is our brew-on-premise wine making, where we make delicious wine for our customers in 6 weeks. It’s as if our customers get to make their own home made wine, without all the work and mess. They can also personalize their wine with customized labels, printed in store at the time of bottling. We also sell take home wine kits for the customers who enjoy doing the wine making process at home.
Stacey Blixt
Stacey is the owner/operator of Vintner’s Cellar Saskatoon. She purchased Vintner’s Cellar while on her second maternity leave, after being a customer of the store for a few years. At the time, Stacey had no plans to be a business owner. The previous owners of the store sent an email out to all their customers, saying they were selling the store. Stacey thought about it for a while, and quickly realised it was an opportunity she couldn’t pass up, even though this was amidst a global pandemic. She jumped right in, sent her son to daycare earlier than the planned one year, and entered into the entrepreneurial world! This turned out to be the best decision she could have made. Stacey admits that it was scary making this bold change, but she has always had a strong work ethic and knows she can do anything she puts her mind to. Business is thriving, growth is continuous, and Stacey is loving it!
