this game is one of my best a long with chocolatiers i like them all, two was the best for me but i still enjoyed them all this is very similar except we create wine u travel the world taking orders and making money i love games like this and it really takes time to beat well worth your money i hope their will be another game if not a second then just make a game just like these and i will keep buying them a great game. i recommend this game for the true heart of a person who wants to have a big business and learn to make money

A truly amazing game! It shows a true example of a great game.

I enjoy these kind of games...the grow your own business genre of games-strategy. Plenty of interesting ways to advance in the game.

Winemaker Extraordinaire is a business strategy game in the vein of the Chocolatier series where, instead of focusing on time management tasks (like the ?Dash? series), players must balance buying ingredients, producing and selling products, and filling orders as they advance through a quest to obtain the ultimate wine recipe. To start with the basics: the game?s fun, the art?s well-crafted, and the setting is well-established. For someone looking for a game like Chocolatier this fits the bill. However, Winemaker Extraordinaire proves to be far easier than any of the Chocolatier series and game play is far shorter; I completed the game in a little under four hours including the trial time. The mini-games in particular were much easier for me as they required basic match-3 actions like linking like objects together and swapping objects to create a pattern. It?s also much easier to gain money quickly and therefore overstock your ingredients to simplify game play -- they never expire so you can keep them throughout the game if needed. The major drawback of the game for me was that it proved difficult to navigate to the correct location at times. When you want to produce a wine you can?t look up which winery you configured to make the wine in and therefore either need to write it down or hope between cities to find it. It also had the annoying habit of resets, i.e., when you sold a wine the ?shelf? of wine selections would automatically go back to the beginning even if you wanted to sell another wine next to the first one, therefore making you scroll through the selections over and over again each time you sold (or bought) multiple products. However, overall the game was very enjoyable if you?re looking for something that requires you to do some planning ahead and juggling multiple ventures without the high pressure of more time oriented games like the Tycoon series. 3 1/2 out of 5 stars.

I get to play out my fantasies of owning a vineyard with this game! It reminds me of Chocolatier. So fun and somewhat relaxing. I wish it was a little more challenging but I find myself coming back to it year after year. The only down side is there isn't a sequel!!!! ::hint hint game developers::

I LOVE this game! I learned so much about grapes and wines. I had loved playing the Chocolatier games, especially Decadence by design. If you enjoyed those and wanted something similar, this is your kind of game! You might also enjoy it if you like the Tradewinds games. I wish they made more games like this. There are far too few.

After playing "Chocolatier: Decadence by Design" I was itching for a similar game. I thought this game would be it. The challenge level just wasn't up to par - everything was pretty easy, with a lot of hints and quick game play. It didn't take a very long time to get through the whole game. Fun, but a little disappointing.

Nice Entrepreneur game! Loved learning about all the different wines, how their made, what to eat with them, demographics and such.

Very relaxing game that teaches you about the making of wines from around the world. I had no idea so many different types of grapes existed. Very fun and informative game.

This is one of the games that I return to time after time. It's easy to play and has a nice story line that works itself into the winning the game. I always enjoy the quests and the arcade style feature for making the wine. If you like games based on trading and fulfilling requests for your products and traveling the world, then this is the game for you. There's great music for each city that you visit, and you even learn about the grapes used in making the wines. There is no time limit; you can play at your own pace.
