Vicki and I began this journey several years ago. With retirement approaching we were looking for something we both enjoyed and could do together.
After purchasing a small acreage of this Century Farm in 2010 we wanted to put it back into production. Our love of wines and making wine fit the bill. Over several years we began to alter the landscape and building a vineyard, winery, and tasting room.
Although our love is dry red wines, we try to produce wines for every palate. A good wine is a wine that you like whether its sweet, dry or someplace in between. Nearly all of our wines are made with cold hardy grapes, and come for local vineyards.
Yes, we are open year-round, normal hours 10 to 5, Friday - Sunday. Contact us for other times.
We have just re-released "Haymow" Dessert wine.
Our reds are sourced from; our vineyard, local vineyards, and juice from outside the Midwest.

French Oak since the spring of 2018. She has matured into an elegant red wine, that is quickly becoming one of our favorites.
