WELCOME to Ohio Wine Country!

Thousands of years ago, our land was covered by glaciers whose retreat formed what we know today as the Great Lakes.  It is the rich and fertile soil left behind paired with the area’s climate that creates conditions ideal for growing grapes.  These conditions gave life to a vibrant and expanding vineyard region, known as the Grand River Valley, currently home to over 2 dozen wineries.

On the ridge of the Grand River visitors will find rolling acres of manicured vineyards. Sunny Fall days release the sweet smell of ripening grapes.  The delicious scent hangs heavy in the air and locals drive with their windows down, breathing deep. Fresh-pressed grape juice is unlike anything you’ve tasted and is only available for a window of time.

The wineries are very hands-on.  Guests are often served or given a tour of the cellar by owners, their family, and friends.  Visitors can participate in a robust calendar of events 12-months a year. In the winter, curl up by a crackling fire with a plate of crusty bread and local cheese while you listen to live music.  Summer events range from balloon rallies to bike trails. Looking to unwind?  Sign up for a Yoga in the Vineyards class (wine is included, of course).

Most impressive about these wineries is their lack of pretense. Come as you are: dressed up or dressed down.  Drink what you like: sweet or dry.  There is a camaraderie and sense of pride amongst these neighbors who invite guests to sip their passion.  Let them know what you enjoy and they will be happy to make a recommendation for your next stop in Ohio's Wine Country
