We have been in business since January 2008 and went through our 1st "crush season" in the fall of 2008. We have opened a winery to provide tastings, GREAT TIMES, private parties, indoor/outdoor seating, and foods.
In 2015 we started an addition to include another full basement, a pavilion, more bathrooms, and a new kitchen! Ok, it's just taking us awhile! We opened the new kitchen serving brick oven pizza, pasta, and lots of fun sandwiches & paninis in September 2019. The basement and pavilion are ready for our enjoyment and yours! The pavilion has had some extraordinary parties in it so far! We are very excited for this new opportunity with the different foods!

. The Frontenac Gris is our only Estate wine we grow about a mile up the road. This grape is a hybrid the Ohio State University Extension office thought would be good for us to grow nearly 16 years ago and it's been a great tasting wine which has won its share of awards.
Speaking of awards did you know in the 2022 Ohio Wine Competition we had 24 award winning wines? Yep! Our Gewurztraminer got Best of Show White and a Double Gold, and our He Said She Said got a Double Gold too. We had 20 other wines receive either silver or bronze awards!

The above pic is in the basement of our home around September 2008. We took a room, put locks on both doors (for our federals you know!), had 7 tanks of 600 liters each, a 6-prong bottle filler shown and a standalone hand corker. That was the start of D and D Smith Winery!
