Experience Painted Prairie
November – May | A NEW Way to taste on the prairie!!
As we head into the quieter months, we’re embracing a new way to welcome you.
Rather than offering traditional weekly tasting room hours, we’re creating more opportunities to gather, celebrate, dine, and enjoy thoughtfully planned experiences.
