VINEYARD OWNERS

Dr. L.R. Smith purchased the land for George Spencer Vineyard and Wine Tasting Room from his grandfather, George Spencer, in the early 1960s. Dr. Smith planted the first 100 Edelweiss grapes in 1998, locating them in what is now known as the North Vineyard. With 50,000 pounds of grapes to harvest, Barb Yendra volunteered to help Dr. Smith. Today, Smith and Yendra own and operate the vineyard and new tasting room, which opened in the fall of 2004.
