Recipes for August
What's Terroir? Enjoy ours at your home!
The wines made near Lake Erie are influenced by a unique combination of geography, soils, slope, and weather which define our Germanic "terroir". Owners Fred and Jennifer Johnson and Winemaker Jeff Murphy lead guests on a relaxing walk in the Estate vineyards, visiting three deluxe tasting stations to enjoy seven-eight wines paired with delicious local foods.
