It’s easy to see the vision the Senchuks had today, but the path to get here had humble beginnings. In 2011, Ilya & Nadia Senchuk acquired a farmhouse nestled on 11 acres of land with the dream of starting the winery. The property included an abandoned vineyard and barn that could only be restored by ‘crazy youths’ with more passion than brains. Through hard work and dedication, they have built a winery that has surpassed even their wildest dreams.
The previously undiscovered vineyard on the estate has proved to be a hidden gem, consistently yielding superb fruit that translated into high-quality Pinot Noir & Chardonnay. These wines have garnered acclaim from both local and international wine critics, establishing Leaning Post Wines as a beacon of excellence in the region.
