Firelands Winery Tour Sandusky Ohio
We took a trip out to the Firelands Winery in Sandusky Ohio recently.
The winery is located just off route 2 heading west right before the lake Erie Islands, Catawba Island exit. Upon entering the building you are right inside a nice open area where they sell their many varieties of wine and wine accessories. They even have supplies for the home winemaker.
When we were there they had a self guided tour just up the steps above the tasting bar and showroom. On the tour, you can watch a video that details the history of the winery, and also shows each step of the wine making process. If you are lucky enough to be there on a day when they are working, you may see the production crew bottling, or working with the must.
The wine varieties they make include: Chardonnays, Reisling, Pinot Grigio, Walleye White, Ice Wine, Catawaba, Niagara, Concord, Merlot and Many others. At the tasting bar a dollar will buy you five samples from either the dry menu or the sweet menu.
