October brings the hustle & bustle of harvest season to the winery. Temperatures are turning cooler, the fall foliage is becoming vividly colorful. We were fortunate to sell-out all our Concord grapes this year, and are starting harvest for Riesling, Vidal & Muscat the week of Oct 5th. Our Cabernet Sauvignon and Cabernet Franc will hang a bit longer, but will be fully harvested by our October 24th Harvest Bonfire.

Yep, we said harvest bonfire. An honest to goodness burn pile has been growing all season & we're lighting it at dusk for all to enjoy. We have Ashley Boyce & Nick & Lori Acoustic Duo: two great performance acts appearing, plus Dynamite Dogs food Truck.

We're pleased to offer live music on Saturdays @ 2pm for the remainder of 2026. Come spend the afternoon in the vineyard, listing to music and drinking award-winning wines. The foliage colors are simply magical.

We had such a great time meeting folks last year, so we've registered to participate in the Tannenbaum Trail again this year. Get your Merry Bells jingling & grab your tickets in advance at https://ohiowines.org.
