Founded in 1969 by Ely Reeves Callaway Jr., the winery holds the distinction of being one of the first commercial vineyards in the region and the first to open a tasting room.

The winery boasts panoramic views of rolling vineyards and spectacular sunsets, providing a picturesque backdrop for wine tasting and exploration. Visitors can sample a diverse selection of wines, from delicate whites to intense reds, and learn about the winemaking process from the knowledgeable staff.
