Liquid Art Winery and Estate

Welcome to Liquid Art Winery and Estate, a uniquely Kansan winery offering a blend of traditional winemaking techniques and a distinctly local flare situated in the beautiful scenery of the Flint Hills. Discover our estate's rich history, engaging wine experiences, and the exquisite flavors of our wines crafted from old-world grape varietals.

History and Background

Established on the foothills of an ancient mountain range in Manhattan, Kansas, Liquid Art Winery and Estate embodies the spirit of winemaking by integrating the traditional viticultural practices of European wineries with the unique terroir of the Kansas Flint Hills. Identifying the potential of the area’s similar soil composition to that found in renowned grape-growing regions of Europe like Burgundy and St. Emillion, the winery was started to harness these ideal conditions. Since planting its first vines in 2015, Liquid Art has expanded, cultivating a thriving 20-acre vineyard while spearheading local vineyard development and management through strategic partnerships.
