The Very Beginning
We opened our doors and began selling delicious wine. During this year, we sold out of many of our wines before the leaves turned vibrant fall colors.
With the collaboration of our business friends, Twelve Oaks Vineyard has been blessed with many awards since we opened our doors in 2015. Travel down memory lane for some of the highlights of our awards.
