In 1903 William Gammie Sr. was born (Quarry Hill Winery, 2016-c). He immigrated with his family to America in the 1900s (Quarry Hill Winery, 2016-c). During the Great Depression, he, his siblings, and his mother acquired a farm they named Gammie Brothers, which is now Quarry Hill Orchard (Quarry Hill Winery, 2016-c). In 1931, they grew mostly vegetables (Quarry Hill Winery, 2016-c). However, the elevation and soil made fruit easy to grow (Quarry Hill Winery, 2016-c). In 1973 the farm was renamed Quarry Hill after the several quarries in the nearby area (Quarry Hill Winery, 2016-c). The farm is operated by Bill Gammie, a descendant of the original owner (Quarry Hill Winery, 2016 -c). In 2005 Mac McLelland of Georgia began the process of opening a winery (Quarry Hill Winery, 2016-c). He used vinifera varieties of grapes due to the climate found in the area (Quarry Hill Winery, 2016-c). He named the winery Quarry Hill Winery because of the proximity to the farm (Quarry Hill Winery, 2016-c). The winery operates on the hill side, providing wine to locals and visitors alike (Quarry Hill Winery, 2016-c).
The winery offers an array of light snacks to pair with their wine (Quarry Hill Winery, 2016-b). They have the traditional cheese platter, hummus and other dips (Quarry Hill Winery, 2016-b). They also offer sweeter things such as cheesecake (Quarry Hill Winery, 2016-b). Wines available range from the typical white and red to ice wine and fruit wines, each can be paired with a menu item to enhance flavor (Quarry Hill Winery, 2016-d). For those interested in beverages other than wine, they offer martinis (Quarry Hill Winery, 2016-b).
