WineryGuide

Spring/Summer 2026

Discover Ohio's Grand River Valley

OVER 60% OF OHIO'S GRAPES ARE GROWN RIGHT HERE IN THE GRAND RIVER VALLEY, MAKING IT THE STATE’S HEART OF WINEMAKING.

This federally designated American Viticultural Area (AVA) spans Lake and Ashtabula Counties, where retreating glaciers left behind fertile soils, rolling slopes, and valleys that create the perfect environment for vineyards. With over 30 wineries, the GRV is one of the fastest-growing wine regions in the Midwest. Its unique landscape, cool-climate grapes, and innovative winemakers make every glass a taste of something extraordinary. Join us for a glass today. Cheers!

How to Use This Guide

Enjoy three types of winery experiences in the Grand River Valley

At Signature wineries, guests can expect to find rows of vineyards growing grapes used to produce Grand River Valley estate wines. Inside, wine sampling is encouraged to help guests make a selection that suits their taste (please note that Ohio law requires a charge for samples). Food choices are available for pairing; wine always tastes better with food!

Signature wineries are open 5-7 days a week.

Artisan wineries are small-scale wine producers that focus on producing highquality, handcrafted wines. These wineries are characterized by their emphasis on traditional and manual winemaking techniques, attention to detail, and commitment to producing unique and distinctive wines. Guests can expect a light menu to pair with their wine experience.
