Open: Year-Round

It all began in 1998 when Ken and Kimm Schick bought an old dairy farm with over 200 acres in Fultonville, NY. They came from Northwestern NJ, a farming community that was slowly being sold off to developers and built up. They came to upstate NY to escape the noise and traffic that came with this development and get back to the country living and fell in love with this piece of heaven that has since become Hummingbird Hills Winery.

Ken and Kimm planned to retire up on the farm and always knew they would have a "working retirement" but they had no idea what that would be. They both have a passion for wine and wine tasting and made many trips to the Finger Lakes Region over the years, so something to do with grapes and wine seemed a good choice. The original plan was to grow the grapes and ship them to other wineries but as you can see plans change!
