Greetings wine enthusiasts! I'm Jalynn Smith, the proud owner of Backyard Vineyards, where making people happy and savoring exquisite wines are my two greatest joys. With nearly two decades of experience in customer service, business development, and management, I bring a wealth of expertise to this haven we've created for you.
The journey began as a dream in 2010, and after dedicated efforts since 2017, here we are in March of 2024, ready to share our labor of love with you. Throughout this incredible venture, God has been the driving force, guiding every step. I vividly remember the day when I heard His voice say, "You are going to open this winery and love on my people." It became clear that this is more than a business; it's a calling, and we're thrilled to extend the warmth of Backyard Vineyards to all. Join us on this extraordinary journey, where passion meets purpose, and let's celebrate the remarkable moments together!
1 Chronicles 16:24 - Publish his glorious deeds amongst the nations. Tell everyone about the amazing things that he has done.
Hello, wine enthusiasts! I'm Roger Smith, the proud owner and winemaker behind the magic at Backyard Vineyards. The inspiration for this incredible journey? It's the unwavering passion my wife has for wine – her joy in discussing and sharing the rich culture of the wine industry. Witnessing her face light up with true passion is what fuels my day.
This dream wouldn't have taken flight without the divine orchestration of God and the incredible individuals He placed in our lives. A heartfelt thank you to my wife, whose enthusiasm ignited this journey, and to my brother Shane, cousins Zach and Shanna, and dear friend/brother Miles – your tireless dedication and motivation have been our driving force.
In moments when the road seemed challenging, the motivation from these remarkable people became our biggest blessing. There were times in the past three years when I contemplated throwing in the towel, but the support and encouragement from those around me propelled us forward.
A special shout-out to Holland Construction, Jerry’s Plumbing, our Landlord Josh, and Aaron from Price Edwards – your contributions were pivotal in turning this dream into reality. To each person who played a part, no matter how small – your assistance came at precisely the right time.
This journey not only brought our dream to life but also reshaped our future and that of our daughter. From the depths of our hearts, thank you, and may God bless everyone who contributed. Together, we've created more than a winery; we've crafted a legacy. Galatians 6:9
