The winery offers nine core wine flavors, including peach, strawberry and sangria. But one of their most popular and original flavors is blueberry.

They also offer wine tastings and tours.

"So during the week, we have tours from 12 to three, wine tastings from four to eight, and then on the weekends, we have them every hour,” said Bock.

“Then in the wine tour, or winery tour, they go behind the scenes and see how our wine is made, how our cider is made, how it's bottled,” said Block.

The farm also hosts community events like line dancing and monthly sip and shop markets.
