Hilton Vineyard, Monroe

In 1971, Larry and Evelyn Hilton took it upon themselves to try making a few gallons of wine. Although they battled a difficult climate, the Hiltons used their small 3-acre plot of land to plant french-hybrid grapes, and somehow they survived. Today, they make a long list of wines from fruits grown at their vineyard and winery. They also offer free, live entertainment at their tasting room.
