Our wine quality starts with an unending passion to make the best wines possible. To make those wines, we start with a tremendous site rich with limestone that provides good nutrient flow and great soil drainage. Our high elevation site gently sends the spring frosts below the vineyard ensuring our primary buds will blossom. Next, we ferment and age our wines in only the finest winemaking equipment that exists.

Finally, the winemaker's art takes over. That art, a blend of the traditional, the cutting-edge and the "nothing risked, nothing gained" attitude Jim provides, makes for distinctive bottles of wine you may never taste elsewhere. In the end, you may enjoy a straight varietal wine such as Traminette, or a complex blend such as Joe's Jammin' Red.

Visiting our winery provides you not only with insight as to how wine is made but the pleasurable experience of wine tasting. As you first step foot the grounds you immediately see our chambourcin vines growing down the driveway.

Walking through the winery's door will place you into the tasting room, but you'll quickly notice that we placed a direct access into the production area. On most weekends, we're busy working with the wines. We'll be glad to tell you what's happening and if the timing is right, we welcome you to taste the wines in process. This openness allows us to create a detailed interactive experience for you.

When Laura and Jim first purchased the farm in 1997 to begin the dream of owning a winery, we quickly noticed a large population of turtles on the property including a large alligator snapper that crossed the driveway the second time they saw the farm.

This abundance of turtles provided a unique idea of naming the winery. Since then, the popularity of Turtle Run Winery has grown beyond the local region and has attracted winery visitors from all across the United States and many countries as well. Many visit simply for our namesake.

The turtle or love of turtle collectibles attracts some of our patrons to visit the winery. The story or how the name came about is a staple of our Winery brand.
