Hollyhock Lodge is a place steeped in family tradition and memory. Purchased by my great grandparents in 1936, it is where my grandmother taught me to appreciate wine at our sublime summer meals shared with family and friends. With the passing of my grandmother, Hollyhock Lodge also passed to a new family. Named for the place where I learned to appreciate wine, Hollyhock Lodge wine is about sharing the gift of a glass, enjoyed among family and friends.
