Kelly & Brenda Logan purchased the winery from the family corporation, Gem City Vineland Company in 1984 and re-opened the winery as Baxter's Vineyards in 1989 after going through the daunting task of bonding and licensing during the age of no electronic communication. Kelly is the 5th generation of Baxter's to grow fruit in the historic town of Nauvoo, Illinois.
Brenda soon became one of very few female wine makers in the state of Illinois and also took on the tasks of the general manager of the property. Today, Brenda remains as the general manager, while Kelly continues to work off site and maintain all of our vineyards and orchards. In addition to Brenda and Kelly, their daughter, Kim, has returned to Nauvoo and assists Brenda in the general management of the property.
