Our Story
Making a dream come true
Clearcreek Country Vineyard started from the dream of Gary Evans, who wanted a small vineyard upon retirement from his 30 year engineering job at Harley Davidson in Pennsylvania. Gary planted the acre vineyard between 2006 to 2007. He and his wife, Shirley, would drive back and forth from Pennsylvania to tend to the vines for over 3 years before his eventual retirement in 2009. Upon his retirement, Gary and Shirley moved to Amanda to settle in and work full time in the vineyard to get it ready for production. Tragedy struck as Gary suddenly passed away in January of 2010, which was devastating for Shirley and the entire Evans’ family. It seemed as though Gary’s dream had came to an end before it was fully realized.
Devastated by the loss of her husband, Shirley was not sure what to do with the vineyard. She wanted so desperately to make Gary’s dream come true. Family rallied around her through the tough days and were on hand to tie up loose ends with the property and the wine that needed bottled. Before she knew it, it was harvest time. Gary’s nephew, Randy stepped up to see what he could do to help. He tried his hand at making the wine. At first it was overwhelming as Randy knew nothing about wine making. He actually did not drink wine which was even more difficult because he did not know if it really tasted very good. But he did not give up.
He would sit down and study Gary’s meticulous notes on the entire process of making wine. And sure enough, he started understanding how to make good wine.
Before long, a partnership was formed between Randy, his wife, Christine, and Shirley in 2010. Randy continued to follow Gary’s instructions and learned how to grow and care for the vines. The next, and most important, step was to see if anyone would drink what Randy had produced. Many volunteered to taste the wine and the dream of opening the winery came to life. Seeing that owning and operating a vineyard and tasting room was becoming a reality, Shirley took the steps to become a licensed vineyard.
What started out as a very uncertain future, became an amazing adventure for Shirley, Randy and Christine.
A small tasting room was built on the property in 2013. In June of 2014 Gary's dream came true as Clearcreek Country Vineyard opened it’s doors. Because of the rapid growth of the vineyard, in 2018, the decision was made to move the tasting room to the main house in order to provide more space for our customers.
Many family members have been a huge part of this vineyard’s growth and success. Shirley’s brother-in-law, nieces and nephews were all a vital part in growing CCV. Running the tasting room, events, social media and any other events could not be done without the family. They have enjoyed 11 years of making wonderful memories with their family and just as many memories with their customers who have turned into friends.
2024 was a year of change for CCV. Shirley decided it was time to retire and moved back to PA to spend some precious time with her daughter’s family and some amazing great-grandsons. She passed the vineyard on to Randy and Christine to keep serving our faithful customers. Randy and Christine are excited to see what 2025 holds for the vineyard. New wines will be introduced as well as some old favorites will be back in production. Our CornMaze will be in it’s 3rd year, Music Bingo is every month and some food trucks will be on hand to make your visit even better.
The vision for CCV has always been to create an atmosphere where wine lovers could sneak away from the hustle and bustle of life to unwind and recharge. The inviting wrap-a-round porch is the perfect spot to take advantage of a quiet space to relax. They’d love to have you stop by. Randy and Christine look forward to enjoying some porch sits with you to share the story of their Uncle Gary and his passion for wine making. You just might get to meet the whole family as they love to bring their friends to share in the experience. Stay posted for updates and we hope to see you soon!
