Crooked Tree Vineyard Permanently Closed on 9/22/2025.

It is time for a new chapter. The vineyard/winery venture has been an incredible experience for us and the success far exceeded our expectations. We learned about a new industry, pushed our physical limits to new heights, met great people, and created memories to last a lifetime.

But now, we want the freedom to visit with our children, grandchildren, family and friends without constraints of a business. We both still have other professional interests that we will pursue so not truly retirement just a shift to enjoy our Kelleys Island home and property.

We are not leaving Kelleys, keeping the property as a quiet sanctuary for us. Options for the vineyard are being explored; it could be a simple grassy area with trees or we might try some other crops.

Thank you all for a wonderful experience.
