Leg Sponsor - Souther Williams Vineyard - The land known today as Souther Williams Vineyard has a long and storied history rooted in the spirit of family and friends. The land initially comprised most of what today is the Hoopers Creek valley and consisted of 10,000 acres back in the mid-1800s. The 35-acre property, which is what is left today, forms the old original homeplace, and you can still find remnants on the property today from an era gone by. Visit Ken and Angela in the Vineyard tasting room! Look for 20% off bottles of wine, coffee, mimosas, orange juice, and danishes in the tasting room!
