It is our goal to make wine the traditional way with help from current technology. Our wines will find favor to the novice and the experienced wine drinker.

The Wine Barn was established in 2006 between the families of Scott Hiatt and Sal Coco. The initial intent of the Wine Barn was to grow grapes for sale. Demands by friends to sell our wines as well as success in local competitions, inspired our quest to develop a winery.

Mr. Coco has been a amateur wine maker for over 25 years. Mr. Hiatt has been for 10 years. Hobby wine making was previously performed in the cellar of the Coco residence for over a dozen years with a number of friends participating in wine production for their own use. A 30 by 40 production area was completed in 2007 and all equipment was moved to the facility in the summer of 2007. The facility has been developed to provide a winery and tasting room. Our first vintage in 2008 is over 500 gallons of Kansas grown grape and fruit wine along with vinifera and French hybrid grapes.

STONEHEDGE Vineyard has mostly French Hybrid grapes of four different varieties with St. Vincent being the largest quantity. Recent additions of Noriet and vinifera varieties of Cabernet Franc, Riesling and Vidal complete this small vineyard.

The HOTT SCIATT vineyard was started in 2006 and boasts of 10 different varieties to include French Hybrid, vinifera and American Native grapes. The largest planting is of Norton and Chambourcin grapes. We have also introduced Zweigelt an Austrian vinifera grape to the area. Over 5 acres of vineyard will be completed by 2009.

Our Kansas grape wines are augmented by fruit wines also from the State of Kansas. Our signature apple pear blend has been received well in competitions and wine tasting for may years. Other wines such as blackberry, raspberry , blueberry and other fruit wines are produced as weather and production rates warrant.

The Wine Barn also complements our Kansas grown wines with selected varieties from vinifera grapes from California. In this way we can offer our customers a diverse selection of wines satisfying to anyone’s palate.

The Wine Barn offers free samples so that you can try the fine wines, and drink what you like.
