The Estate

Ten acres of impeccably groomed grounds

Nestled within picturesque, serene landscapes, Glacier Rock Vineyard is an outdoor estate curated for the complex and sophisticated palate. Ten acres of impeccably groomed grounds: elegant walkways, cultivated vineyards, and 25,420 square feet of natural water features, a tranquil sanctuary for pilgrim geese and mallard ducks.

Northeast Ohio lies near the southern reach of the last great ice sheet. Glacier rocks, boulders carried south by the ice and left behind as it melted, can still be found across this part of the state. It's a fitting name for an estate built on ground the ice shaped.

The heart of the estate is a timber barn with cupolas, a stone chimney and a long covered porch. Weathered boards and X-braced doors give it a quiet, rustic character.

The Wines

Two expressions of Sangiovese

The CellarVanilla Bliss and Velvet Bliss, poured on the barrel.

One noble grape, two distinct characters. Both dry, both made to linger long after the last sip.

Entry I · Sangiovese · 2023 · Dry red

Velvet Bliss

Bursting with bright red cherry, wild herbs, and a hint of baking spice, all wrapped up in a surprisingly soft, velvety-smooth finish. Perfectly dry and incredibly drinkable.

Tasting notes & profile for Velvet Bliss

Entry II · Sangiovese · 2023 · Dry red

Vanilla Bliss

A bold, unapologetic wave of rich, toasted vanilla envelopes the dark cherry core, creating a creamy, decadent mouthfeel that lingers long after the last sip. A dry red with a luxuriously sweet aroma.

The Water

25,420 square feet of still water

Two ponds anchor 25,420 square feet of natural water features, mirroring the barn and the sky. They are a tranquil sanctuary for pilgrim geese and mallard ducks.

Beside the barn, a paver courtyard edged in brick opens around a round stone fire pit, and river-rock beds soften every edge.

The grounds are best seen in person.
