Thank you for all your support you gave through the years to the Cork & Pork Festival. We will miss you when we have the festival next year on Saturday, July 10, 2027. Enjoy your retirement.

Thank you, Everyone, for your support over these past 26 years! We are now closed for business at the winery. Some of the local stores still have some of our wine, so please check with them if you would like more Fox Creek wine. This is very bittersweet for us.
