Baby, It's Warm Inside!

Come in from out of the cold! We're celebrating winter and warming up with the release of several new vintages of red wine including Chancellor and Cabernet Sauvignon. We'll have several types of fondue available for purchase to go with the new reds.... and to keep you warm.

And perhaps our fireplace will be hooked up by then!

Winter Wine & Wool Festival

Our summer Wine & Wool Festival was such a success that we're planning an indoor one this winter. Just when the world looks completely bleak outdoors and everyone has a little cabin fever, the winery will be filled with colorful yarn, fiber, knitted items, and knitting supplies.
