WINDY HILLS WINERY MAINTAINS GROWTH AS A FAMILY BUSINESS
W
indy Hills Winery, located in the fastgrowing city of Ridgefield, will celebrate its fifth year of business operations in May of this year. The winery, owned and operated by Dave and Karen Kelly, is located on property that their family has owned for six decades. For 16 of those years, it was a Christmas tree farm. When Dave retired, he had the idea to turn the property into a vineyard and open a winery. Today, they grow and produce wine on site, in addition
to having a winery with a tasting room and an event center. Windy Hills Winery regularly hosts weddings, company events, fundraisers, anniversaries, and other special events. Dave and Karen are often found behind the counter or on the floor chatting with customers, and their daughter Ashley oversees event planning and other operations. The Kelly’s also have another daughter working at the winery. Currently, there are 10 employees – both full and part-time – and most of them are other family members or great friends. • OFFICE SUPPLIES AND ACCESSORIES • OFFICE FURNITURE • PROCUREMENT CONSULTATION • ERGONOMIC TRAINING & EVALUATIONS • COMMERCIAL OFFICE MOVING • OFFICE AUTOMATION (COPIERS/PRINTERS)
