In 2006, Steve and Lori Grossnickle purchased a farmland on the peninsula. They quickly dove into the growing wine industry. The winery is located near the 45th parallel and covers 35 acres of land! Their superb location allows them to grow ten varieties of grapes. They also grow their own apples that are used in their cider range!

During the summer, they also host wine tours, offer walking trails and mountain bike trails through the property, and Yoga in the Vines, where you can drink wine while doing yoga!
