A thousand vines, planted by hand.
Ken and Kimm Schick traded a rural New Jersey that was vanishing under development for a quiet 200-acre dairy farm in Fultonville — not far from the Finger Lakes. They planted their first thousand vines by hand and waited out the three to four years it takes for young vines to mature into a real crop.
The first vintage was a success, with Ken following his German ancestors' knack for wine and spirits. By the end of the 2010 season they had New York State approval, and Hummingbird Hills became the first active winery in Montgomery County. Today Ken and Kimm tend 22,000 vines across a 26-acre vineyard, and proudly pour for guests from across the Capital Region and well beyond.

“You have to have a passion for it, like any other farmer. We grow the product and create it here.”
