History:
The name of Chautauqua was chosen for the Vineyards and Winery because DeFuniak Springs, Florida was home to the permanent Winter Assembly of the Chautauqua Assembly from Chautauqua County, New York from 1885 to 1928. Many turn of the century homes and the Chautauqua "Hall of Brotherhood" still stand, gracing the shores of a perfectly round lake that is the center of the city.
