Grandview Vineyard

About

Grandview Vineyard is a family owned vineyard located amid the rolling hills of northwest Lancaster County. The Kennel family has been growing premium vinifera grapes – Cabernet Sauvignon, Merlot, Chardonnay and more, since 2009.

It all started a few years ago when our dad, Larry Kennel, began to make wine on a small scale, as a hobby. He spent many hours harvesting roadside wineberries and elderberries to make his specialty, completely dry fruit wines. He began to get positive feedback from friends and family who had the opportunity to taste his wines. Larry received his first textbook in enology as a Christmas present and as he became more educated, his love for winemaking continued to grow. He devoted much of his free time to reading textbooks and other resources about winemaking. Larry sought out wine lovers and winemakers alike, learning by asking as many questions of them as he could. He has attended many conferences and seminars to further his knowledge base. After extensive research, he asked his family if they would join him in the wine industry. And, the rest, as they say, is history!
