Hours: Year Round

Swedish Immigrants, Charles and Hanna Larson, purchased this site in 1878 and the winery stands upon their original homestead. Four generations later, the Larsons continue farming the land.

On the hill top of moraine soils left from the receding glaciers, the vineyards of Snus Hill were started in 1999 when John & Diane Larson planted the first acre of Frontenac and Marechal Foch. Each year was followed with another acre planted of a different variety. In 2003 and 2004, the dream of a commercial vineyard became a reality when Snus Hill Vineyard sold grapes to Summerset Winery.
