Valley Vineyards began in 1969 with a happy accident. Garth Cahoon, a viticulturist from The Ohio State University, approached Ken Schuchter and urged him to consider growing grapes on his land outside Morrow. He explained that its location in southwest Ohio’s Little Miami River Valley offered the right climate and favorable soil conditions.
Schuchter, who at the time dreamed of leaving his desk job and revitalizing the family farm, bought what he thought were enough grapevines to fill approximately 2 acres. In reality, he had greatly miscalculated. Not knowing how much room the vines would need, Schuchter had purchased enough to fill 20 acres. That fortuitous mishap poised the new business for rapid growth. Today, Valley Vineyards is the second-largest estate wine grower in Ohio, growing 35 varieties of American, vinifera and French hybrid grapes on 70 acres and producing nearly two dozen kinds of wine.
