Every day is a little bit different. I take guests on in-depth tours of the winery and vineyards, host private events in our tasting room and vineyard event space, create custom tastings plus wine & food pairings for formal dinners and offsite events, pour and sell our wines to visitors at the winery, and assist with wine education for guests and staff.

We specialize in finding off-market properties in rural and suburban areas throughout the United States for resale or development. Our primary goal is to help owners sell their land efficiently without having to list it, and in turn, offer our buyers the opportunity to acquire land at an affordable price.
