Ozan Vineyard & Cellars has been in operation since 2005, offering barrel aged red and white wines from estate grapes and from fresh grapes supplied from East Coast vineyards. The vintage includes: Vidal, Chardonnay, Cabernet Sauvignon and “Norton” a native American red grape grown at Ozan. The 2006 Vintage includes Sangiovese, Peach and Merlot. Early in 2001 the Patrick Family planted an experimental vineyard of native grapes and hardy hybrid grape varieties. Today there are more than 2,000 vines planted at Ozan with plans for expansion. A number of the cross hybrids have shown an ability to thrive in the Central Alabama Environment. Future plans include additional plantings of these red and white winemaking grapes on the 24 acre estate. Ozan also offers facilities for entertaining large groups or special events. Tours and tastings are available. Tasting room hours are Friday and Saturday 11:00 a.m. until 6:00 p.m.
Ozan Vineyard is part of the County's "Wining" themed itinerary.
