Myrddin Winery offers Northeast Ohio a memorable destination for wine lovers, tourists, and diners open to embracing new experiences in a remarkable setting overlooking Lake Milton. The name Myrddin, is homage paid to Merlin the Magician and Camelot revisited from his own perspective as written by Mary Stewart. In the story Merlin lived high in a cave overlooking a lake and each day would thank his namesake, the God of high places, Myrddin. This story had been passed down to co-owner Kristofer Sperry from his grandfather and mother, Gayle and is fitting given that Myrddin Winery rests high above Lake Milton. And, rest assured the name is as unique as your wine experience at this little winery overlooking the water, in the woods, surrounded by local wildlife.
