Grace Tyler Estate Winery, LLC

Grace Tyler Estate Winery sits on 15 acres in Constantia, purchased in 2012 and first harvested in 2017. Richard Hamilton, a chemical engineer with over 13 years of winemaking experience, founded the operation in 2018. The winery building, completed between 2015 and 2018, is constructed from upcycled aspen poplar grown on the property. Estate grapes are hand-grown, hand-picked, and hand manicured. The program produces Chardonnay, Riesling, Cabernet Franc, Marquette, La Crescent, Frontenac Gris, Baco Noir, Diamond, and Brianna, made as 100 percent pure varietal wines except for blends. The 2023 Late Harvest Frontenac Gris earned a Silver Medal. Accessible via the Vanderbilt snowmobile trail, the winery offers private tent rentals and a wood-fired pizza trailer during summer hours.
