The Wine Barn

The Wine Barn's 7 acre vineyard was started in 2006 and boasts of 10 different varieties largely of Norton and Chambourcin grapes but also include French Hybrid vinifera and American Native grapes. They have also introduced Zweigelt, an Australian vinifera grape to the area. Located Northwest of Kansas City. The initial intent of the Wine Barn was to grow grapes for sale and enter into wine making only as a hobby. Success in competitions as well as request from friends inspired development of a the winery
 

The winery is ran by the Hiatt family along with their daughter and son-in-law. Mr. Hiatt has been making wine for over a decade. His hobby wine making, previously performed in the cellar of the personal residence, has now become a his full time title and devotes his time to developing wines that sets them apart and can be appreciated by all. It is the Hiatt's family goal to make wine the traditional way with help from current technology. The wide variety of estate produced wines allows them to showcase wines that are satisfying to both the novice and the experienced wine drinker.

The actual Wine Barn building was completed in 2007 and has been developed to provide a winery and tasting room. Our first vintage in 2008 produced over 500 gallons of Kansas grown grapes and fruit wine along with vinifera and French hybrid grapes. Kansas grape wines are augmented by fruit wines also from the State of Kansas. The Wine Barn's signature apple pear blend has been received well in competitions and wine tasting for many years. Other wines such a blackberry, raspberry and other fruit wines are also produced, along with local favorites, such as Racing Adventure, named after the Nascar Speedway, and Legendary Rose’ which gives homage to the Legends Shopping district which is just minutes away.

The Wine Barn is nestled on 16 acres of land. The location is quite beautiful. Located just minutes from the ever growing Legends District of shopping and dining, and minutes from I435 and I70 makes it easily accessible. The Wine Barn itself sets just next to the vineyard and overlooks the pond. Although minutes from just about anything, once you turn onto the grounds, you are worlds away.
