FAINTING GOAT VINEYARDS

FAINTING GOAT VINEYARDS

People always ask us how we came up with the name. After a long, hard day of vine work, we climbed to the top of the mountain and felt like fainting. From there our nickname, Fainting Goat, was born. ??Do we have goats? We certainly do! We have four real fainting goats on our property, Ronnie, Reagan, Dolley, & Mamie. Our fainting goats` welcome visitors to pet them. For their safety, the goats remain in their pen. We also have award winning wines, a view that only God could create, and a deep love for our business. We welcome you to visit us and would be honored to have you as our guest!
