Since 1946, John Christ Winery has been dedicated to the production of quality wine. Located less than two miles south of Lake Erie in Avon Lake, all of the wines are produced and bottled on the winery premise. The winery offers a tasting room, tasting bar, and live music. Acquired by the Kopf family in 1995, the location is known for its fruit and medium to sweet wines. It produces between 13,500 to 15,000 gallons of wine annually. Current vintner Jack James has cultivated new batches of wine through experimentation, and multiple wines have won awards at the Ohio State Wine Competition.
