Blackhawk Winery
|
|
Blackhawk Winery was established in 2011 as a result of an epiphany of "why not open a winery?" We realized we had a 5-acre field being leased out as a soybean field that could produce a reasonable amount of grapes to support a small winery. We also had a large pole barn that we could partition off and renovate a 2500 sq ft area for wine production and a tasting bar. Plus, there is the wide array of critters running around to make it interesting and memorable for potential visitors!
