Regal Vineyards, 201607/08/2016One of the most unusual winery farms in Ashtabula County, the establishment opens its doors from September-October every year to celebrate the sights and sounds of the Halloween season. Capturing the true spirit of agri-tourism, the location offers a number of holiday themed attractions such as tours of the two-story haunted house built in the 1800s and the spooky corn maze and activities that cater to the whole family including hay rides, a gourd trellis, pumpkin patch, farm animals, corn cannons, steer roping and duck races. Abandoned for nearly forty years, Mark and Debbie Mihalik acquired the property in 2005. This 52 acre site once housed the historic Cohotas Winery, which was known for its sweet cherry and Concord Jewish wine. The couple hopes to establish a vineyard and open a winery on site in the near future. |
South River Vineyard, 201605/20/2016Known as the “church winery”, this boutique winery is contained in a century old Methodist Episcopal church that originally was located in Shalersville, Ohio. Wine owners, Heather and Gene Sigel, moved the church to its present location in 2000, opened the winery in 2002, and constructed a back deck overlooking the vineyards in 2006. Signs of the church remain such as the original pews, the wainscoting, flooring, and some of the stained glass windows. Marketed as “the quiet winery”, the location provides a relaxing atmosphere for intimate conversation and beautiful views. Currently the vineyard consists of 35 acres of vinifera and produces 2,500 to 3,000 cases of wine yearly. |
