Dan & Heather first met in Junior High School and many years later were brought together by a bottle of wine, not knowing that in just a few years they would be wed and planting a vineyard of their own. Growing up with family businesses, Dan & Heather each had values such as work ethic and dedication instilled at an early age. Heather’s family owned and operated an auto body shop were she worked with her dad after school. Dan worked on the family farm with his grandfather as soon as he could reach the tractor clutch.
  While earning his degree in Agriculture (Plant and Soil Science) from the University of Delaware, Dan remained very active with the family farm. After graduation, he continued to work with his uncle to expand the hay and straw retail business and a custom farming business as well. In 2001 he moved on to and continues to work for the Gloucester County Soil Conservation District as an Agricultural Resource Specialist.  
  Heather’s family moved to Vermont in 1987, but she was able to remain in New Jersey to finish high school. She spent her freshman year at Gettysburg College, but moved to Vermont the following year to be closer to her family. She graduated from the University of Vermont with a degree in English. She worked as the Education Director for the Vermont Association of REALTORS until 2000 when she decided to return to South Jersey. She has been working in the Real Estate Industry since.   Heather and Dan married in September 2003 and their son, Dallas Haddon Brown was born the following year. In the mean time Wagonhouse Winery, LLC was established and Dan and Heather found themselves working toward a goal
that they had only dreamt of previously.  As the vineyard continued to grow, so did their family. 
  Dawson Pierce Brown was born January 10, 2007.  This dream began when Dan
started making wine for personal consumption in 1998. The culmination of their
backgrounds and the guidance and support of fellow wineries has allowed them
to produce quality wines. Each bottle has had their individual care from planting
and nurturing the vines, to crushing and fermenting the  fruit, and finally bottling
and labeling the wine. They believe that by doing all of the work themselves,
they can create a better product. For their fruit wine, however, they depend on
local growers to provide the best Jersey Fresh fruit. Their dedication to
New Jersey agriculture is evident by their desire to use only fruit grown in
New Jersey to produce all of their wines.  Enjoy!
