Having produced award winning wine as amateurs, Bill and Patti Skvarla  made the decision in 2001 to diversify the production on their farm to include a block of Cabernet wine grapes.  In the spring of that year, 1200 Kendall Jackson Cabernet vines were carefully planted and Harmony Hill Vineyards was born.  Harmony Hill Vineyards is situated 30 miles east of Cincinnati and just miles north of the Ohio River Valley in the great state of Ohio.  

As stewards of the land and foster parents of nature, Harmony Hill Vineyards is dedicated to taking the ‘Road Less Traveled'.  They embrace the opportunity and welcome the challenge of  blending the production of wine with the sacredness of maintaining the land, wildlife, and environment in its most natural state. 

Vineyard entranceThe decision regarding placement of the vineyards was made after careful evaluation of the feasibility of the site for growing Vitus Vinifera versus the eco-dynamic impact of its placement.  Natural growing techniques are practiced whenever possible and sections of the farm are still planted in organically grown medicinal herbs.
 
A visit to Harmony Hill Vineyards would not be complete without paying respect to the 6 dogs, 2 cats, and our miniature donkey who reside and keep watch over the vineyards.

The goal of Harmony Hill Vineyards is not to be Ohio's largest winery, but to instead carefully select only the finest grapes to produce a limited amount of estate bottled premium Cabernet Sauvignon wine in the Bordeaux tradition.

BETHEL, OH — A certain playfulness permeates Harmony Hill Vineyards in Bethel, about 30 miles east of Cincinnati. That’s apparent by the directional sign on the winery’s grounds that shows one arrow pointing west: “Napa — 2,390 miles” — and one pointing east: “Bethel, 2 miles.” “It’s not so much about the wine as it is the experience,” says Bill Skvarla, who co-owns Harmony Hill with his wife Patti. “We just want people to enjoy the country.” Wellllll, sometimes it is about the wine. After all, Harmony Hill produces several bottlings from grapes grown around the winery, including a tasty, off-dry Vidal Blanc called Concerto ($9.95). They sell the bottles from the tasting room, and on weekends, folks bring picnic baskets (Harmony Hill doesn’t serve food) to enjoy with the local wines while listening to live entertainment.

Ohio Wines & Vines: Harmony Hill

Kevin & I ended our Saturday afternoon drive at Harmony Hill Winery in Bethel, Ohio. Harmony Hill is only about 20 miles outside of Beechmont/Anderson and folks, Harmony Hill is FUN.

IMG_1963You pull into a long winding driveway with fun signs, including one telling you it's a Golden Retriever Crossing. I love dogs, so this was a good sign. As you come around the bend, you are greeted with a picturesque barn, a couple of patios, and bright umbrellas. A parking lot is provided around back of the barn, and that's where you discover the donkeys. And burros. They're adorable, provided you don't feed them your fingers.  Across from the happy animals are the vineyards.

A couple of years ago when Harmony Hill opened to the public, the owners faced a big challenge - their location. This hard-to-find winery is located in a very rural area outside Bethel, Ohio. An online map won't get you there and the mailbox numbers seemed to be randomly placed along the road in no specific order. We turned around twice, sure we were missing something - but we hadn't gone far enough. This winery seems to have surpassed this obstacle. When we finally found the winery, we encountered a huge number of visitors that turned out on a Saturday afternoon...plus several of their wines were sold out. This indicates one thing to me: success.

Once we found it, we pulled into the long drive back to the tasting room. I was immediately impressed with what I saw. The grounds were lovely and I noticed several seating areas as we drove to the parking area. The main parking lot was full, and we had to park in the overflow parking area - but it wasn't very far away at all. As we walked from the car to the tasting room, I could hear the sound of live music as we passed the vineyard. In the main seating area near the building there were many groups of people picnicking and listening to the music. Everyone seemed to be having a wonderful time.
