7C's Winery & Meadery
7C's Winery & Meadery, est. 2009. A hometown winery that’s well-known for its wines and Meads as well as its annual Mead Fest. Mead is an ancient medieval drink, so naturally Mead Fest features a Renaissance Faire with live-action demonstrations, games and, of course, turkey legs. “The first year of Mead Fest we had about about 300 people and since then, it has gained a life of its own,” says Dwight Crevelt, owner of 7C’s, along with his wife Jean Anne.
