Conneaut Creek Trail
These wineries are a part of Ohio’s newest AVA [American Viticultural Area]. The designation, by the Federal government after a long and complex process, recognizes the unique microclimates and historical significance of a grape-growing region. The three wineries on this mini trail are special places. Arnie Esterer, founder of Markko, was the visionary who first planted vinifera in northeast Ohio. Buccia Vineyards, started by Joann and Fred were among the first 25 in the state and their legacy has been carried forward with passion and success by Bill Holden, its present owner who expanded overnight accommodations and food offerings. Ken Tarsitano was also one of the first 25 wineries in the state that planted his grapes in the historic Hatches Corners and most recently added fine dining. The three, taken together, provide a perfect opportunity to enjoy great wine, lovely meals, and a truly memorable getaway experience.
