Hidden Meadow Vineyard in Jemison will host an open house Saturday from 10 a.m. to 6 p.m. to celebrate the business’ fifth anniversary.

Jeff Bailey has helped his parents and owners Bill and Janette Bailey during the past five years, and in a full-time capacity for the last two.

“It started as a hobby of my dad’s and grew into a full-time job,” Jeff Bailey said.

According to Bailey, there were some obstacles in the way at the beginning, as Jemison was still “dry” at the time that the conversations of possibly opening a vineyard were taking place.

However, things worked out perfectly as the city voted to go “wet,” and the Baileys broke ground on the vineyard shortly after in June 2010.

Each June since, Hidden Meadow has held an open house to commemorate the official opening of the business in 2012.

The event is scheduled from 10 a.m. to 6 p.m. and is free to the public with a variety of wine tastings available for those in attendance.

Entertainment will begin at 1 p.m. and will be provided by James Quakenbush, who plays the trumpet and sings, and is known as a “one-man band.”

According to Bill Bailey, the first couple of years were all about getting the business’ name out into the community, and much of the last couple of years has been spent establishing its retail distribution.

Hidden Meadow wine is currently sold at 50 locations in six counties in Alabama.

The most popular wines are a blend called Meadow Rose, peach wine made with peaches from Culp Fruits, and Smithridge White.

The vineyard is open Friday and Saturday from 10 a.m. to 6 p.m. and is located at 664 on County Road 606 in Jemison.

“It’s been a lot of work, but it’s also been a lot of fun,” Bill Bailey said.
