Why visit
- A small, hands-on farm winery just outside the historic village of Waterford, opened in 2005 and run by winemaker Kent Marrs, who makes every wine by hand.

- Known for a distinctive lineup of fruit and berry wines including apple, elderberry and aronia alongside estate grape wines such as Cabernet Franc, Merlot and Petit Verdot.
- Much of the wine is sold in value 3-liter pouches, each equal to about four bottles, rather than in standard bottles.
- The farm also produces antioxidant-rich elderberry and honeyberry syrups, juices, teas and vinaigrettes under its ORAC Farms label.
- Open weekends only on Saturday and Sunday afternoons, it rewards visitors looking for an off-the-beaten-path, quirky stop near Waterford.
