Open: Year Round
Slate Run Vineyard is a small farm winery that was opened in 1997 by Keith and Leslie Pritchard. Â Keith, an avid amateur winemaker since 1981, started planting grapes in 1985 to support his experimental winemaking pursuits. Â Quickly realizing that he planted too many grapes, Keith started selling them to other amateur winemakers and small wineries. Â By 1994, facing aging, burnout, and a wife that wanted to see him, Keith came to the realization that opening a winery would allow him to utilize all the skills and education that he developed previously in life.Â
