The whole process is not difficult once you have the appropriate instruments. Do you have grapevines or do you plan to buy ready squeezed ungerminated liquid?
Anyway, Depending on the quantity of grapes you need a tub to put them on for at least 24 hours depending how deep colour you want the wine to be. Then you take the liquid and put in an open barrel, preferably wooden, where it stays for about 40 days or until it stops fermenting. This is done in a well ventilated cool dark place.
Then you transfer it to bottles that you close firmly and leave it for a while to rest in a cool place, until the time you decide to use it .
This is a simple account of your moves and surely the experts will tell you a lot of info and advice. The secrets of wine making are endless and I never found a home wine-maker to give me the same instructions. So if you start this be prepared to experiment .
In more than 15 years of my own wine-making it so happened that the steps I took were never the same but the end result was only once not near perfect.
Yes it can be made at home. It can be tricky. For a good result it takes about a year. If you don't have a local Brew supply store (not liquor store) near you then try this web site Willamsbrewing.com. or search on line for similar sites. Your initial investment should be about 100-120$ but most of that will be equipment that could last you forever.
Get educated and good luck.

It's fun to do, but can be messy and tricky with temps, etc.
I have made wine many times with old Italian Poppy, and have had explosions, overflows, etc.
It can also be expensive to start, especially if you get into buying barrels, the grape quality, and the quantity.
If you have the time, space, and money try it.
You can find everything on line, and can also use some things that are second hand, or rented.
Have fun :)

There are too many sites.
Too many types to mention everything including beer another thousand recipes.
beer is a lot easier to make then wine. Wine is actually pretty difficult. You can try it, for the experience, but it's a lot easier just to buy it from the store.
