About the Vineyard and Winery
Meet the OwnersGary's Work
Gary is the master-mind, dreamer and philosopher of Blue Heron Vineyards. His vision is the reason for all that we are as a business. He often says he wears too many hats (and proved it one day by walking in the living room wearing about 20!). He is the vineyard master, the cellar master, the stick carver and main caretaker of the property. His background is in Education. He graduated from the University of Tennessee- Chattanooga, where he had a four-year basketball scholarship as well as Masters Degrees from IU and Indiana State. He taught at Lookout Mountain Jr. High, TN, Troy, IN, Hoosier Heights Jr. High and Tell City High School until he ended up in prison…where he taught (got you there for a minute, didn’t I?). Before he retired in 2007, he was the Education Administrator at Branchville Correctional Center. Lynn's Work Lynn is an artist as well as co-owner of Blue Heron Vineyards. Her artistic eye and talents are put to good use at the Winery. Lynn is active in all parts of the business from harvesting grapes to planning the summer concert series, Wine Over Water. Lynn retired from teaching Art in Tell City and Perry Central Community Schools after 33 years. Her academic background includes a BA from Kentucky Wesleyan College and MA from Western Kentucky University.

They are now the proud parents of two awesome children.
