History

Established in 2004.

The owners Peter and Denisse Schnebly have been living and working in South Florida for over 25 years. Their vision was to provide tours to visitors of their 96 acres of exotic tropical fruits and gourmet vegetables that they grow and market fresh through their produce company Fresh King, Inc. In the spring of 2003 the couple invited Peter's friend, Bill Wagner the owner of Wagner Winery (Lodi, New York) for a visit. Wagner Winery was the second small farm winery founded in 1977 when New York State changed the laws permitting wineries with production of up to 250,000 gallons of wine. During the visit Wagner inspired the Schnebly's to start a winery with wine made from exotic fruit. This provided the answer to their longing for agro-tourism. In the fall of 2003, the Schnebly's began experimenting with the fruits, making wine out of their garage in the evenings. Sustainable farming became a top priority as Schnebly wines are made from only the finest fruit.

Business owner information

Peter S.

Business Owner

As a boy growing up in New York's Finger Lakes wine country, Schnebly worked in vineyards since the age of 13. However, he always dreamed of living near the Florida Keys and "where Flipper is from." He made the move to South Florida in the mid-90s and began working with Homestead's farmers through his fruit packing business, Fresh King. He eventually went on to grow fruit, buying up 100 acres of farmland. Frustrated with the idea of throwing away fruit with blemishes that wouldn't sell at the market, he consulted boutique winemaker Bill Wagner, and the rest is history. He produced his first wine in 2004 and the winery has flourished ever since. He recently fulfilled a long held dream of adding craft beer to the business and his Miami Brewing Company, which shares real estate with the winery, produced its first batch in February 2012.
