Beer is made by men, wine by God.

ABOUT US
Poca Terra Winery
Four generations later, Giovanni’s wine press found its home at John and Karen’s farm in Marshall County, Kentucky. For many years those old tools served merely as conversation pieces, but in the back of John’s mind grew a desire to continue the family tradition. After much research on grape varietals that grow well in the climate and soil of western Kentucky, we planted a small vineyard of Chambourcin vines, a French-American hybrid that produces superb dry and semi-sweet wines that pair well with a wide variety of foods. So far, every step in making our award-winning, estate-bottled Poca Terra wines is done by hand, from the grape harvest, to pressing the grapes in that handed-down wooden press, to bottling and labeling. Our dry reserve is aged in Kentucky white oak barrels. Poca Terra wines are truly a taste of Kentucky!
Our Vision
In the meantime, we are licensed to sell our wines. We offer Private Tastings, by appointment, outdoors in a location that takes advantage of current weather conditions. Please call ahead to set up an appointment so we can ensure safe distancing and other precautions.
Come taste Kentucky!

Vineyard-In-A-Bottle
Unique gift for yourself or fellow wine lover, this wine bottle is packed with grape seeds collected during the early stages of our Poca Terra winemaking process when the crushed grapes are pressed to separate the young juices from their skins and seeds. Though we certainly do not recommend it, each bottle contains enough seeds to plant a vineyard of 20 acres. Set this decorative bottle on a shelf where it will conjure dreams of owning your own little piece of winery heaven.
