ABOUT US The Fenton Winery & Brewery was opened in January 2008. What originally started as a winery offering tastings and retail bottle sales, grew over the first year and a half to become a wine bar, offering wine by the glass, a full menu of food, and Fenton's best variety of live music. The wine bar now offers 20+ hand-crafted wines, Sangrias, house made sodas, flavored coffees, and desserts from local markets. An exciting new chapter for the business was the addition of brewing operations in December 2009. Looking to build upon the success of the wine bar, Matt and Ginny submitted paperwork to obtain a Brewpub license in early July of 2009. A short (but sometimes long) 5 months later, the license was in hand and brewing operations commenced. Each of our batches is truly hand-crafted in small lots of 5 gallons each, and the beers have been very well received. The success of our beers has demanded a larger brewing system, hence, we will have a 1/2 barrel (15 gallon) system in place by early August. This system will allow us to keep up with demand, as well as, expand our beer offerings (from 4 to 6) sometime in Fall 2010. Our unique beer delivery system (i.e. kegging system) consists of a 1950's era refrigerator that was salvaged, refurbished, and converted for operation as a kegerator.

brewer). A Kettering University alum, he fell in love with the idea of entrepreneurship while earning my MBA at DePaul University in Chicago. The original plan after DePaul was to work up the corporate ladder to eventually manage a manufacturing plant; however, Marketing and Entrepreneurship classes at DePaul changed everything – the idea of starting a small business had been born. Creating the Fenton Winery was the perfect opportunity to combine a love of wine with the desire to start a small business. I believe that drinking wine is truly in the eye of the beholder. You shouldn't feel intimidated by drinking wine - it’s an individual experience to be enjoyed however you please. Many of my favorite wines are not judged based on the price of the bottle; rather they are remembered best for the atmosphere, friends, and memories that were part of the experience. I would love to have the opportunity to help you find your own favorite wines. |
