For three years, Wilbert and Martha Rittmueller visited various Mid-west and New York wineries. The results of those visits was starting this wonderful business. After a long search for the right location, the perfect spot was found on a nine acre tract of land a few hundred yards east of I-80 on Route 6. The location featured easy access to local people and interstate travelers, and provided the potential that was desired for the birth of the new winery.

The name was chosen for several reasons. Fond childhood memories of Martha's grandmother and a visit to a lavender field helped fuel the decision to enhance the experience the owners wanted to share.
