Using products available from Texas soil, each batch of fruit wine here at Maydelle is kept small. Most of our wines are produced in less than 300-gallon batches, keeping creation on the small scale, allowing what really matters to shine through: the fruit.
Instead of stomping on the same old grapes, we go out on a limb, creating wines that are pleasant to drink and downright FUN.
Maydelle wines made from lemon and lime have become our trademark, but you’d be hard pressed to find a fruit we don’t like. We also produce blackberry, elderberry, peach, and many more fruit and specialty wines.

Saturday, September 17, 2011
Along with the vineyard, visitors to the Century Farm Winery in Jackson, Tennessee, can see what real-life West Tennessee farming looks like, including rows of cotton and corn.
Century Farm Winery was founded by Jo and Carl O’Cain and is now operated by Jo’s son, Bart Horton. This fully functioning farm has been growing a full gamut of horticultural crops since Jo’s family started farming the land over 150 years ago.
Originally the Spivey Farm, the winery’s name comes from its designation as a “Tennessee Century Farm” by the Center for Historic Preservation.
Bart makes a wide variety of award-winning wines from native grapes and fruit wines, including strawberry, pear, blueberry, concord, apple, cranberry, elderberry, and plum, along with a specialty 20% abv chocolate dessert wine.

Black Star Farms

Black Star Farms is a premier winery and estate nestled in the heart of northern Michigan’s Traverse Wine Coast.
In 1998 founding partners Kerm Campbell and Donald Coe began the transformation of an 120-acre equestrian facility into a world class winery and agri-tourism destination, capturing the essence of the surrounding land and lakeshore. The property was named Black Star Farms after the stylized star in the marble foyer of the estate house.
“As farmers, we draw our livelihood from the fertile Michigan soil, embracing the challenges and rewards of growing premium grapes in this unique region. As winemakers, we’re privileged to capture the essence of our vineyards in every bottle, offering a distinct taste of northwest Michigan’s terroir.
“With their breathtaking landscapes, pristine waters, and ideal grape-growing conditions, the Leelanau and Old Mission Peninsulas are more than just our home—they’re where we find inspiration every day.”
Michigan native Lee Lutes has been the head winemaker at Black Star Farms since its founding in 1998.
