e have all been a part of
making wine for over a decade!
In 2014, our boys Joe, Cori, and their friend Dave helped with the Sangria wine you purchase today. They used all their own fruits and created a medium rose', fruity wine!
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 food.
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 a while! 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 about this new opportunity with the different foods!

n January 2022, we start our 14th year in Business for D&D Smith Winery!
Coming from humble beginnings. We strive to have great-tasting wine with a quality finish! You can see this with our award-winning wines!
The picture below 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&D Smith Winery!

Our History
W
e've been making wines for over
30 years! In 2022, we have 45 wines
to choose from, including two
wine slushies & always ready to
enjoy on premise!
The Frontenac Gris is our only
Estate wine, which we grow about a
mile up the road. This grape is a
hybrid that 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 that 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!
