Named after the Kerry Hill sheep, that the owner lovingly raises, Kerry Hill Winery is an estate vineyard in the Snake River Valley with a new tasting room coming in late summer 2019. While the focus at Kerry Hill is producing beautiful, nuanced wines, the land is used for more than just growing grapes. They have designed their landscape to attract and nurture pollinators, owls, bats and raptors—providing them with native plants, flowers, and shelter. Respectful farming practices like these not only lead to better wine, but to a healthier ecosystem for the Snake River Valley and beyond.
