McConnell Estates

"The house Thaddeus built in the mid-1800’s was lived in by family members for more than 100 years, until the late 1970’s. For a brief period, it was used to store the many antiques that had been passed down over the generations. It was also a favorite location for family Halloween Parties. In 2003, the family decided to give the beautiful and historic house a new life as the current office for Wackman Ranch and the Tasting Room and Barrel Cellar for McConnell Estates Winery."

“The farmhouse is beyond charming, it’s like traveling back in time. How does a fireside tasting sound in a century old sitting room? Did I mention Sangria on the porch? Or maybe sitting on the lawn enjoying your picnic listening to live music with a bottle of bubbles?”
