Bill Fry began making wine as a hobby in the mid-1990s, experimenting with raspberries, blueberries, kiwi, and rhubarb. He and his wife Dorothy opened the business in 2003, initially producing wine in 5-gallon carboys and sourcing fruit from neighbors. A new timber frame production facility was completed in 2011. Louis Maurer, the son-in-law of the founders, joined the team in 2010 and became head winemaker in 2013. In 2015, he introduced Glacier Bear Wines, a sister brand dedicated exclusively to fruit wines made from Alaskan-grown fruit. The current lineup includes 15 varietals ranging from dry Alaska Chardonnay with rhubarb to medium-bodied Blueberry Mirlo and sweet Pomegranate wine or Alaskan Port. The lodging offers two themed suites and one apartment, all featuring private baths, flat screen TVs, outdoor gas grills, and free Wi-Fi.
