126 acres, with established vinifera vineyard of 5 acres at close row spacing (7-1/2 feet) planted in 1999 and 2001. All vineyard equipment, narrow tractor, post-pounder, sprayer, picking bins, etc.

Kinkead Ridge is producing world-renowned, internationally recognized vinifera from our site.
Ron sold his vineyard in Oregon early before the big money moved in and I predict the same thing will happen here. A unique opportunity to purchase an internationally-recognized vineyard. Expansion possibilities include building a winery at the vineyard for more retail sales in this agri-tourist destination and purchasing or planting more grapes. It's a beautiful place to live, an 1880 farmhouse with lots of wildlife. And the price per acreage in Brown County will continue to climb.

"The qualities that make for a happy and genial life... are these: a small estate with fruitful vineyards, a fire to curtail the rigours of winter, freedom from lawn troubles, a contented mind, a man's strength and healthy body, frankness tempered by tact, congenial associates, happy guests, a table spread with simple viands, wine not in excess but enough to drive away care, an unprudish wife, yet virtuous withall; sound sleep to make dark hours fly, no longing for change, just contentment with what you are, no fear of death, nor yet a desire for it."

Martial, Roman poet, The Epigrams

Three miles from the vineyard, with storage garage behind. All equipment, press, filter, bottling equipment, fermentation bins, stemmer/crusher, barrels, winery Blazer (delivery vehicle) etc. Production capacity: 2000 cases annually.

Established customer base throughout Ohio of over 100 wine stores/restaurants.

Ideally Ron would like to sell the winery first with first right of refusal on the vineyard. We have an experienced crew that could manage the vineyard for a buyer.

Ron is willing to stay on to mentor a new buyer, as he has done for Harmony Hill, Meranda-Nixon and LaVigna and will remain available for the 2012 crush.
