 We currently have a 7 acre vineyard and will have a farm winery as soon as the licensing process is complete.  We hope to be open for tasting and tours in 2005.  Our hours of operation will be 1:00 - 5:00 Wednesday - Sunday and from April 1 - November 30.  We will bottle approximately 1,500 cases annually when we are a full production.  Our goal is to create a relaxing atmosphere where we welcome visitors to our home and extend the southern hospitality for which our region is known.
