Our Story

In December 2000 Jim and Cindy first purchased the Willow Spring farm. They originally planned on having the 18th century barn at the center of the land registered as a historic property, but within two weeks of purchasing the farm received a letter from the city that the barn was condemned. Plans scuttled, the family began to disassemble the dilapidated barn, preserving the gorgeous 18th century wood for an eventual re-build. Then began the seven year-long project to clear the land, plant our first vines, and in 2007 officially become Willow Spring Vineyards, LLC.

Now our beautiful refinished barn is open for you to enjoy our wonderful wines or private events. From our very first year we have grown every day thanks to the hard work of our family, friends, and everyone who’s enjoyed our wines!
