Pleasant Hill Cellars took root in 2005 when Ross and Sandy Corder learned winemaking at Rainbow Hills Winery in Coshocton, Ohio. Seven years later, they established the cellar in Athens, on land that was once a horse farm with expansive pastures in Southeast Ohio's rolling hills. Today Ross, Sandy, Nick, and Anne run the program, producing Chardonnay, Pinot Grigio, Noiret, Cab Franc, and Riesling. The tasting room welcomes visitors without reservation. Patio seating is available, and the cellar offers appetizers and weekly themed menus.
