This past weekend, we celebrated 10 years of Liquid Art Winery, and all we can really say is... THANK YOU!
Before our celebration on Sunday, our family sat down together and started scrolling all the way back to 2015 in our camera roll. We laughed. We reminisced. We couldn't believe what we were looking at (kids loved the before & afters).
Back then, the hills looked a lot different. There weren't vineyard rows stretching across the property or a winery waiting at the top. There was an overgrown hillside, a camper, and a dream that felt a whole lot bigger than we did.
Looking through those photos reminded us that this journey has never been about getting from one milestone to the next. It's been about showing up every day and doing the work. Some years brought beautiful harvests. Other years brought Kansas wind, unpredictable weather, and plenty of challenges that forced us to adapt. That's life in agriculture. You learn to keep going, trust the process, and appreciate what grows because of it which is always a true reminder to always stay optimistic in life.
These days, we get to stand back and watch people make memories here. We see families catching up over a bottle of wine. We watch couples begin their next chapter together with the vineyard behind them. We hear music drift across the Flint Hills while friends raise a glass of wine that's grown right here in Kansas. Those moments never get old because we know what it took to get here.
Looking back, it isn't just the property that's changed. We've grown too. We've gone from a young couple with a dream to a family of five. We've gone from doing just about everything ourselves to having an incredible team that helps make Liquid Art Winery what it is today.
Whether you've visited once or you've been with us since the beginning, thank you for believing in us. Thank you for supporting local. Most of all, thank you for helping turn a dream into something far greater than we ever imagined.
Here's to the first 10 years, and to whatever the next chapter holds.
Cheers,
Dave & Dani ๐ฅ
