5 generations of rich Irish Heritage
Driven to the United States in 1855 by the Irish Potato Famine, the Furlong family settled near Ardon, Iowa. We proudly carry on our family traditions of good stewardship of the land and promote a renewal of people working together to produce a quality product.

Johanna
Semi-sweet rosé made from Niagara and Foch.
While I never met my great grandmother, Johanna Cosgrove Furlong (b. 1826 – d. 1892, County Crolon, Ireland), she must have been a strong, self-reliant and confident woman. She immigrated to Iowa via New York, Indiana and finally settled with her husband, John Furlong in 76 Township (Ardon, IA), in 1855. She gave birth to eight children and with her husband, homesteaded the 40 acres where Ardon Creek now sits. It was a prairie back then that I imagine was covered with clover and violets that still flourish today.
Our Johanna wine is dedicated to women on their way to realizing their hopes, dreams and aspirations not unlike my great grandma Johanna Cosgrove Furlong!
