Our journey began with proprietors Coreen Savikko and Bruce Burch cultivating wine grapes, evolving into a professional winery in 2012.

Our partnership with winemaker Bob Balentine, a seasoned expert with decades of experience, ensures every bottle reflects meticulous craftsmanship and a commitment to quality. The opening of our Lancaster tasting room in 2017 expanded our ability to share these wines directly with guests through curated tastings and exclusive wine club benefits.We prioritize sustainable practices in both vineyard and winery operations, emphasizing the connection between local agriculture and exceptional wine production. Our team, including Wine Club Manager Glori Kalliomaa and Tasting Room Associate Jacque, brings deep industry knowledge and a passion for hospitality to every visitor interaction. With over 30 wines available for tasting and a focus on community engagement through events and educational experiences, we aim to make wine appreciation accessible to all. Our accoladesincluding multiple Gold and Double Gold medalsvalidate our dedication to excellence while reinforcing our belief that great wines tell compelling stories.

We almost missed the location from the street as the drive way is weirdly positioned. We went around 3 PM on Saturday, thinking they may be busy. Nope. Not a live body in the wine tasting room, which also goes for the slender young server who tended to us. She was far from wine tasting servers we encountered at other wineries. She was more interested in sitting behind the computer and sipping her glass of wine. For $10 per person, we sampled 6 of their wines, which were a 6 out of 10 in my opinion. The lack of communication and/or information about the wines by the server made the visit less enjoyable

Awesome, check it out. The owner is a really sweet lady Tasting 6 wines for $10 can't beat that. Took home a nice bottle of Symphony white wine. Subtle sweetness, very delicious!

The staff is simply amazing. I visited May 4th and felt right at home. The staff was welcoming and happily helped my group stumble our way through a two hour tasting. Patience and warm welcoming await anyone that enters here. Don't pass it up!
