The 6,300-square-foot winery boasts a wrap-around patio to enjoy the views of nearby Crowders Mountain. There's a 9,000-square-foot outdoor pad for food trucks and events, and a separate production facility with room to grow.
It's been two-plus years since the couple embarked on the journey to make Veronét a reality.
"You have to be a little bit crazy and have to really, really love wine," says Monique Sullivan.
