Hocking Hills Winery To Open In April

By Melody Schubert @USATM

Travel along Hocking Hills and you'll discover beautiful scenery, and plenty of small town charm, along with more than imagines to experience, and a new Winery! Opening April 4, the Hocking Hills Winery is a family affair, and they have transformed the Davidson family cattle farm into a thriving vineyard.
They planted the first grapes in 2008, beginning with just 600 vines. Now expanding with an additional 2,000 vines covering four acres, the Davidsons will harvest and begin making wine with their grapes this fall. They open in April with wines crafted on site from imported grapes.
“We can’t wait for Hocking Hills Winery to get up and running. We look forward to welcoming local visitors and travelers from afar,” Davidson said. “We’re so passionate about our business, and we are pleased to be using our grandparents’ farm to bring something new to our community.”
Located 40 miles southeast of Columbus, Ohio, the Hocking Hills region offers once-in-a-lifetime experiences, with plenty of free activities. In addition to miles of hiking trails, parks and forests, the Hocking Hills is the Canopy Tour Capital of the Midwest, with more than 50 ziplines offered via three distinct guide services.  Unique gift and antique shops, canoeing, horseback riding, golf, spas and more add to the allure of the Hocking Hills as the perfect place to unplug.
