About Us

---

 In 1918 Henry Francis Kappus, great grandfather of Bret Kappus, purchased 447 acres of land west of Oklahoma City from the homesteader who claimed it in the Land Run of 1889. The property, known as River View Ranch, is where the next generation, Lawrence Kappus, started making wine in the 1930's. River View Ranch is still owned by the Kappus family today and hosts many of the old barns and the cellar where Grandpa Lawrence made wine. 

 We began our adventure with the goal of making wonderful wine varietals for everyone to enjoy. We searched until we found the best grapes to grow in Oklahoma because they know great wine begins with excellent quality grapes. Their family and friends provide support and are a great help in the meticulous care of each vine from pruning in the Spring through Harvest in the Fall. Their family works as a team to continue the Legacy Grandpa Lawrence started years ago: to create quality wines for all to enjoy as they celebrate life together.
