Kris is in charge of the winery operations and his wife Patricia is in charge of the winery's marketing and sales. The winery is located on a 90-acre farm which was purchased by the Nielsens in 1980. Centered around the theme of fox hunting, construction of the winery began in March 1992 with the renovation and conversion of the former dairy barn. The barn had been built in three stages commencing in 1858 with addition in 1900 and 1938. The original pegged mortise and tendon hand hewed, post and beam construction was maintained throughout the structure.
All fieldstone used in the winery is from the original foundations.
The wishing well is the original cistern used for barn water. The tasting area and wine shop is on the second level and, with a glass wall, allows visitors to view the complete winemaking operation. In addition to selling wine, the wine shop offers country crafts and fox-hunting related items. Tours of the winery are conducted on the weekends. The winery opened to the public on April 1, 1993.
