Chuckleberry Farm And Winery

Open: Year-Round

About

Chuckleberry Farm & Winery is owned by Chuck & Ladonna Hall.  They met at Nelson Co. High School in Bardstown KY at the end of Ladonna's freshman year.  A mutual friend and blind date would take them on the adventures they have encountered.  They dated for 4 1/2 years and married in 1991.  They began their family just a year later with the birth of Morgan, their oldest daughter.  Three short years later Taylor, another daughter, would arrive.  Soon after Taylor was born, Chuck left the factory he worked at to build homes.  It wasn't long till Chuck decided to go out on his own and start Triple H. Construction, LLC.  Chuck and Ladonna were no strangers to hard work.  Ladonna waitressed and worked at a local law firm as she attended UofL to obtain her Paralegal degree.  Chuck worked the factory and built houses on the side along with some farming. 

They purchased some cows of their own and leased tobacco base to raise extra money.   In 2001 they welcomed their third daughter, Erin.  By this time Chuck had been playing around with making homemade wine.  Some friends of his showed him how to make wine in old whiskey barrels.  Chuck didn't care for the whiskey taste and wanted wine that he could taste the fruit he used.  So, he began to make wine on his own.  A few years later the Hall's purchased their dream land on Garrison Ln. in Bloomfield.  Thirteen acres close to Bardstown Ky where they had been raising their family.  The tobacco industry had taken a turn and after working in tobacco Chuck's whole life he chose a different path for his 13 acres.  Chuck decided to plant Blackberries, Blueberries, Strawberries and Raspberries for his new found passion of making fruit wine.
