THE HISTORY OF DALE VALLEY WINERY

wine vineyard landscape

John Lonsdale was born February 14,1818, in Yorkshire England. In 1841 at the age of 23 he traveled across the Atlantic and settled in Chili, New York, where he stayed for 1 year. He then moved to Madina County, Ohio where he formed a partnership with Enoch H. France, and ran a woolen mill for a number of years.

John did not stay idle long in 1858 he established a woolen mill along the banks of the Raccoon River. The mill was known for its high quality woolen blankets, cashmere and flannel as well as the employment it provided to many of the local inhabitants.

The property in which the school house resides was owned and given for the specific purpose of providing an education to the children of the 30 plus inhabitants of Dale City.

We planted our first set of Edelweiss grape plants (400) in 2001 and another 800 in 2002. As our soil has a high concentration of clay, it took 5+ years to see significant production. Our first harvest was in 2006; fermentation commenced and finally we bottled in 2007, just in time for our Grand Opening on July 7, 2007 (yes, lucky #7-7-7). Since our early beginnings, we have expanded to over 8 different varietals of grapes. Our assortment of award-winning wines has grown to over 14 types.
