Gregory Graham’s appreciation of grapes began at an early age in a suburb of Cleveland, Ohio, where his family owned and operated a 10-acre Concord grape vineyard.

His winemaking experience started while he was in college in the mid-1970s. He had completed his service in the military and decided to attend Cleveland State University, earning a degree in mechanical engineering. Greg’s interest in winemaking grew rapidly, evolving from home winemaking to desiring to produce European varieties and improve his wines.

The winery sitting at the base of the vineyard-covered hills was constructed in 2006.  The on-site facility (solar-powered since 2011) with its proximity to the vines allows Greg to harvest his grapes at the perfect time and engage in the winemaking immediately.  The wines may be tasted in the Gregory Graham tasting room, which is open Friday through Sunday and often staffed by Greg and/or Marianne.
