Family-owned and operated, we produce handcrafted wines made in small batches from mainly locally grown handpicked berries. We ferment whole real fruit not just the juice and real sugar. This gives our unfiltered wine more flavor, color, and body for the best tasting “true to the fruit” wine. We offer over 50 varieties of wines, ports, ciders and sangria.

Our winery tasting room has a fun and relaxed atmosphere so you can meet friends to taste and enjoy a glass of wine, sangria, pint of craft beer, cider or cans of your favorite beer and always free popcorn to munch on.

Guided by the silvopasture model, they range their chicken flocks through the American Hazelnut orchard on the farm. Raising primarily Red Ranger chickens, their flocks build healthy muscles as they forage the orchard. The premium flavor and quality of meat, is a result of ranging on protective pasture and plenty of local, non-GMO feed. From brooder to pasture, each flock is raised with dignity and grace.
