About Us > Our Vineyard >

Visitors to the crossroads of the United States are accustomed to thousands of acres of waving wheat, sturdy corn stalks and bushes of soybeans pushing through the earth. Fields vibrant with the vivid yellow bursts of our native sunflowers are a treat to behold. But Kansas yields another precious crop, nestled on gently rolling slopes, and tucked away near rich, fertile Kansas riverbeds. The revival of Kansas wine is spurring grape-growers statewide.

Nurtured by rich soil, our Estate vines flourish in the abundant sunshine required to produce world-class wine. The blending of old world traditions and innovative viticulture results in the highest quality fruit that will become Smoky Hill Wine.

	Smoky Hill owns and operates a little over 20 acres of vineyards in the Salina, Kansas area. With another 25 acres planned in the near future, we will have the ability to serve approximately half of our wineries needs. We also have growers around the state that help to fulfill the rest of the need for grapes.

To preserve and enhance the character of the grapes, the vines are carefully pruned in late winter. Early in the growing season the fruit clusters are gently positioned to capture the full benefit of the Kansas sun. The grapes are finally harvested by hand in the late summer or early fall when the flavors reach their peak.

Our Estate vines producing white grapes include: SEYVAL BLANC, CHARDONNEL, VIGNOLE, TRAMMINETTE , VENTURA and VIDAL.

CHAMBOURCIN, NOIET and NORTON are the red grape varieties grown at the Salina Vineyard used to produce Smoky Hill Wines.

You are always welcome to visit us at our Vineyards. Stroll among our lush vines and relax on our deck overlooking the vineyards and enjoy the tranquility, sights and gentle sounds of a Kansas vineyard.
