There are likely many of us who have daydreamed about owning a winery, especially while sipping a glass of our favorite wine. Of course, most do not fulfill this dream, but one local family did and with quite a bit of success. Hanover Winery is located in Hamilton, not far from Cincinnati, and has grown more than just grapes since it opened in 2009. This lesser known winery serves several delicious wines in a picturesque setting, and it’s just waiting to be discovered.
Hanover Winery is located in Butler County and began in 2009 as a dream come true for a local family.
With the help of family and friends, the owners turned a 10-year hobby into a wine destination in our area. The interest, excitement, and success was so great that the winery has been growing ever since. They've recently added more to their vineyard, as well as more event space and ample parking for their guests.

After a tasting, you will likely want to purchase a bottle of your favorite and find a relaxing spot on the property. That's easy to do with the park-like setting, overlooking a pond and the nearby vineyard.
