My Goals

To produce a few bottles of wine and learn along the way!

My Mission

To share my journey with anyone else looking to start a hobby vineyard.

My Vision

To have fun, work hard, and share - both the wine and lessons learned!

Welcome to Hawks' Hill Vineyard!

A new hobby vineyard

Do you want to start your own vineyard?

If I can do this, I know you can too!

  Do some planning & research
  Commit to it - buy some vines
  Put in a lot of manual labor
  Watch things grow

Check Out My Projects

  It's not just about growing grapes!

I want to show you that you can take on a project like this yourself. I'll document my steps, mistakes, and successes along the way. Many people have helped me make this decision and I want to be able to give back a little by sharing the journey if possible.

   But wait! There's more!

Another part of my vineyard project, aside from producing wine,  is to create a nice website oriented towards vineyards and work to gain a few new customers for my 'real job'  as an IT Professional.  I will be working with a WordPress Theme developer in the near future creating a custom theme. This site will be the guinea pig!
