Meet Tom & Candy
Candy has called Auburn, Indiana, home her entire life, while Tom moved from southern Indiana in 1995, carrying with him a deep love for agriculture from his childhood on a strawberry U-Pick farm. Together, they built a life in DeKalb County, raising three children and dedicating themselves to both family and community. Tom, a local pastor with degrees in business and theology, and Candy, an accomplished accountant and AVP with a strong background in finance, share a passion for craftsmanship. In 2016, they made their first six gallons of wine—and from that moment, they were hooked. Their journey into artisan winemaking sparked a new dream: creating a space where others could experience the same joy. For them, there was never any question—DeKalb County was the only place to bring that vision to life.
"Mead is the oldest form of wine in the world, dating back thousands of years; it too is a classic and the perfect complement to our area’s other fine establishments. We look forward to creating a comfortable space for the good folks of our community, a cup of blessings all around".
