About Us:

The vineyard was first planted in 1984 by former Chicagoans, Tom Byrne and Jane Armstrong-Byrne. They established their home in the vineyard in 1992. Their love of wine coupled with a keen interest in food was the basis for developing a vineyard. Jane's professional food background brought her to wine early in her career. As an avocation she designed and led tours to the wine producing countries of Europe. Both Jane and Tom belonged to several wine organizations which further served to develop their goal to create a world class Cabernet Sauvignon vineyard.
