What is there to do at a winery?
There's tons to do! You can book a tasting appointment and a staff member will lead you through a tasting of 7 wines from either our sweet or dry menu. Tastings are $7 per person and last 30 minutes. We also have our Cellar Series tasting, which is our small batch, available at the winery only wines. This tasting is $12 per person and consists of 5-6 wines depending on availability.
If you don’t want to go the tasting route, you are also welcome to hang out at the winery any time during open hours with no appointment necessary. We have wine available by the bottle, glass, slushie, or flight, as well as beer and other non-alcoholic beverages, which you can enjoy in any of our public spaces, indoor and outdoor.
Do you ever have live music?
We do! Live music is played on the patio every Friday from 5-8pm and every Saturday from 1:30-8pm between the months of May and October..
Do you have food on site or can I bring food?
Yes! We have 4 different panini options that we serve with chips, as well as meat and cheese trays consisting of an assortment of meats, cheeses, hummus, and chocolates. The paninis are $9 and include chips and the trays are $15 and feed 2-3 people. However if you want to bring your own food, you are more than welcome to do so as well. With both indoor and outdoor picnic places (both overlooking the vineyard), Grace Hill has the perfect spot to enjoy some good times with good wines and good friends all throughout the year!
My partner isn't a wine drinker, do you have anything else besides wine?
We understand that everyone has different tastes, and while we make wines for just about every taste, we understand that some people just aren't into wine. To accommodate that, we keep the cooler in the tasting room stocked with soda, water, and beer. Whenever you come to the winery we will have a selection of Budweiser, Bud Light, Coors Light, Michelob Ultra, as well as local favorites such as Salt City Brewing’s Amber, Walnut River Brewing Company Warbeard Red, and Wichita Brewing Company V6 IPA.
Can I bring my kids and/or my furry kids?
Of course! We've got toys for the little ones, yard games for the teenagers (and adults!), chickens to feed, and our mascot Georgia the English Bulldog to play with, Grace Hill Winery has fun for everyone! We are dog friendly as well, just please be sure your fur baby is well socialized and remains on a leash.
I'd like to buy some Grace Hill Wines but I'm unable to make it to the winery. Where else can I purchase them?
You can find our wine in many liquor stores around the Wichita area, including Newton, Derby, El Dorado, and of course Wichita! We are in a few stores in Emporia, Topeka, Manhattan, and Salina as well. For a complete list of Grace Hill friendly liquor stores, click here.

I've heard you have volunteers help harvest your grapes. Is that true and where do I sign up?!
We do have volunteer harvest days on most Saturdays through August and September. We usually begin about 8 or 9AM, pick for about two hours (or until it gets hot), after which we bring all the volunteers into our event center for free wine and food! It's a great way to spend a Saturday morning and meet new people, and at the end you'll be wined and dined! The best way to secure your spot is by joining our email list (to join click here), where you'll hear about harvest as well as other neat events Grace Hill puts on during the year!
