Uncork

Here’s to a sip and a sunset. From the rolling fi elds at The Winery at Wolf Creek to the waterside decks at Pick’s at Portage Lakes, there are plenty of locations serving luscious libations made right here. With love, from us to you.

It may surprise you, but Canton—known best for pro football—has one of the most elegant wineries in the Midwest. Gervasi Vineyard Resort and Spa in Canton transports its visitors to Tuscany. Eat at one of its three restaurants and stay overnight at one of its romantic abodes. The newly opened Cave has expansive tasting and barrel rooms. The Still House highlights the vineyard’s spirits. Its new spa provides level-up luxury, bar none.

Gervasi is not alone. There is a wealth of wineries where you can sip and savor the Akron-Canton good life. Begin your adventure here.
