Ferrante Winery and Ristorante is located in Harpersfield Township and has been owned by the Ferrante family since 1937.
The family first opened a winery in the Collinwood area of Cleveland. In the 1970’s Pete and Josephine Ferrante built a state-of-the-art winemaking facility with 40 acres of vineyards in the current location where guests can visit. The farm is located in an ideal location for growing grapes. It is located in the federally recognized American Viticultural Area in the heart of the Grand River Valley. Today five out of eight of Pete and Josephine’s children continue to run the facility.
Also on site is the Ristorante, offering special occasion lunch and dinner options as well as a regular lunch and dinner menu that provides the ultimate dining experience.
Along with the amazing vineyards and the Ristorante they are also devoted to experimenting with innovative techniques and technology to expand their winemaking abilities and keep their wines cutting edge. They also offer live music, events, a wine club, and you can even purchase their wine online.
Visit their website to learn more, schedule a dinner, shop for wine, and see their schedule of events. You can also visit them on Facebook, Instagram and Twitter.

Labor has always been an issue, mainly because we are a seasonal operation. So that's a challenge finding somebody who only wants to work three months out of a year, sometimes up to six months.
I appreciate the benefit of having a strong voice in my corner. The extras that are included in membership are wonderful, but I'm a member because of the positive impact to my local and state agricultural communities.
I see the value and need to be engaged in the community I live in, to be a part of the decision-making process and to volunteer with organizations that help make our community better.
Farm Bureau involvement has taught me how to grow my professional and leadership experience outside of the workforce and how to do that in a community-centric way.
With not growing up on a farm, I’d say I was a late bloomer to agriculture. I feel so fortunate that I found the agriculture industry. There are so many opportunities for growth.
Knowing that horticulture is under the agriculture umbrella and having Farm Bureau supporting horticulture like it does the rest of ag is very important.
If it wasn't for Farm Bureau, I personally, along with many others, would not have had the opportunity to meet with our representatives face to face in Washington.
