Our vineyard is an enchanted place where Twisted magic is happening. One visit to the Z&M vineyard and you know that you have entered a special spot. We grow our own grapes and purchase produce from local farmers. We care about every single bottle of wine we create. To create our hand-crafted, signature wines, we use only the best produce and handle each batch with care. 
The land we work grants us amazing gifts each day. In return, Z&M believes in treating our land with care and intention.  You won’t see harsh chemicals at our Twisted Vineyard, which is equipped with a specialized irrigation system that is replenished by rain water, minimizing our ecological footprint. Because Z&M is committed to keeping our products chemical-free, we keep weeds out by using recycled newspaper to line the beds. In August of 2019, we started Bella Vino, a sustainable self-care line of soaps, lip care, body scrubs, and candles made with repurposed ingredients from our wine-making process.

Event Venue: Weddings, Parties, Corporate Events.
