Winemaker's House

The winemakers house is a great place to get ready for your special day.

Wanting to stay true to the historical roots of the land and estate, we chose not to tear down the original farmhouse near the winery. Instead, to celebrate this unique structure built in 1864 and homesteaded as Chankaska Creek Ranch, we restored it and turned it into some offices and a bridal changing room. This brings a whole new caliber of proximity to ‘babysitting the grapes,” as the vineyard is right outside the front door!
