Open for special events throughout the year, and also available for private events off season.

Signature Wines

Premium Apple Wines

We offer a diverse line of signature wines made with apples grown and freshly pressed on our farm. Available exclusively at Jonamac Orchard.

Caramel Apple

APPLE WINE

This wine is inspired by one of our favorite products at Jonamac Orchard, hand-dipped Caramel Apples. We take crisp tart apples, dip them in rich sweet caramel, for a complex flavor that just can't be beat! Now those same flavors are combined into a smooth sweet wine to enjoy in a glass rather than on a stick!

Our sweetest wine, made with natural caramel flavoring.
