Holy Grail Winery is taking its business from Augusta to Holstein.Owners Lonnie and Sharon Stonebraker laid out their plans for the move in June to the Warren County Planning and Zoning Commission. The commission reconvened July 20 and approved a conditional use permit (CUP) for the Stonebrakers to establish their winery at the southeast corner of Highway N and Mill Road.The CUP includes several stipulations. The location’s parking must accommodate 75 cars and no parking is allowed on county roads. The building and surrounding premises are limited to 125 customers at one time.The permit allows Holy Grail to play outdoor music during normal business hours, but states that the winery will close earlier in winter months than during the warmer half of the year.To have their venue considered a winery that can make and sell wine on the premise, the Stonebrakers also will have to plant 2 acres of grapes on the property by next spring.A quiet atmosphereDay to day, smooth jazz is the music of choice at Holy Grail Winery, Lonnie Stonebraker previously told the planning and zoning commission.Sharon Stonebraker added, “We’re a boutique winery. We would like to stay that way. ... We’re not interested in large crowds.”Eventually, the Stonebrakers plan for their winery to be available for weddings and other special events. That could change the amount of noise and style of music coming from the venue.The Stonebrakers intend to renovate an existing structure at the site for use as the winery building. They would also add a large tent to be able to host special events.The owners said they plan for the new winery to be the same type of venue as their current location in Augusta, and that any Holstein residents who have concerns can go to Augusta to see what it’s like for themselves.Lonnie Stonebraker said his family has a long history of winemaking in this area, and that he has been making wine for 30 years. Holy Grail Winery was established in Augusta in 2012 and currently also has a vineyard in Dutzow, he said.Holstein residents who commented on the winery’s CUP application had mixed reactions, but were generally positive. One longtime resident said he hopes the winery can bring a little life back to the town, which doesn’t have as many services as it used to.Holy Grail Winerty
