Owen Valley's vineyards are located by their country tasting room and winery at 491 Timber Ridge Road in Spencer (Owen County). A range of wines are vinted at Owen Valley including estate grown Steuben blush and Traminette as well as fruit wines such as Persimmon and Strawberry and dry offerings including Chardonnay and Syrah.
