How it all started

A weekend hobby, a Tennessee winery.

Sometimes it’s less expensive to build a winery than to keep your wife supplied with wine. At least that’s David DelMonaco’s explanation for how a weekend hobby evolved into a premier Tennessee winery and vineyard. Barbara and David started making wine in their basement in 2002.

They planted four varieties of grapes around their home, and the wine making expanded. By 2006 they’d relocated to 52 beautiful acres in Putnam County, Tennessee, that were perfect for growing grapes. After planting the first 12 acres of vineyards, it was only logical that they built a winery.

On most days you’ll find David working somewhere in the vineyard, content and focused. Barbara and her staff greet visitors daily in the gift shop & tasting room. Two of those wines, Whistle Stop Red and Espiritu de Oro, contain grapes from those original four varieties.

“They are always hosting events.”

Great Winery. Barbara and David did a great job with this. They are always hosting events. Wine is one of the best around here.

My wife and I were staying right around the corner and went here for lunch with two friends. First thing, the setting is impressive. The luncheon menu had a number of choices; my wife’s favorite was the “Drunken Eggs”. The wines were good; the Merlot was very good! Our server was excellent. My wife and I enjoyed it so much, we went back two days later for lunch by ourselves. If you are in the area, I highly recommend visiting.

Fantastic winery with multiple tasty wines! Their Whistle Stop (a unique chilled red), Chardonnay, and Dulce are some of our favorites! Stunning winery and lovely outdoor seating area!
