Jefferson, Ohio

Emerine Estates

Sweet and fruit wines, a café menu, and the Wineshake, a frozen dessert of fermented cream and fruit.

What to Expect

Emerine makes grape and fruit wines, including sweet wines and a root beer wine, and the Wineshake, a frozen dessert of fermented cream and fruit. There is a café menu, so it works as a lunch stop. The Emerine family has made wine since 1917 and opened this Jefferson winery in 2003.

In the glass: Fruit and grape wines

Off the Beaten Path

Five wineries 13 to 30 miles from the Madison and Geneva cluster, each worth the drive: a meadery, a 1930s racehorse stable, a frozen wine dessert, a vineyard with rooms, and one of Ohio's first European-grape vineyards.
