Owners Dave and Ester DeFehr

Owner Dave DeFehr in 2003 envisioned planting a vineyard and bringing the first winery to Iredell County.  After locating an ideal 52-acre pastoral setting, the land was manicured to enhance its natural features and four acres of vines were planted in 2005.  A modern, three-level “barn” was constructed to include a small winery.  We took our first harvest in 2006 and produced 500 cases of wine.  We doubled production to 1000 cases with the 2007 harvest.  In September 2008 we modified our harvest crush operations with "gravity-enabled" processing.  And on September 3 we joyfully opened the doors of our rustic timber frame-style tasting room and art gallery to the public!
