People have been asking, and if you don’t drive down Harney Lane frequently you won’t know what progress has been made on the winery. Progress is, of course, never as fast as we would like but there are some definite visible changes occurring. My Dad has taken on the landscaping job and was able to get a fair amount of planting done before harvest got rolling. (see the first pic) Things will slow down with harvest here soon and then pathways and the remaining planting can be completed. There is the perfect spot under the…

We can’t wait to see you all in the tasting room!!!

It’s an exciting and rather crazy endeavor but we feel it’s the right step for our family. Our family has been living and farming on Harney Lane for over 100 years now, so what could be a better name that “Harney Lane Winery”?
