Traveler's Cellar Winery

Welcome to Traveler's Cellar Winery in Rockfield, Kentucky, a distinct boutique winery owned and managed by Derrick and Deserea Huff. This Veteran Owned and Woman Managed establishment combines international influences with local flair to deliver a unique wine experience.

History and Background

Derrick, a Warren County local and WKU graduate, along with his wife Deserea from Southern California, established Traveler's Cellar Winery to blend their worldwide wine experiences with the local terroir. Their adventure began in 2018 with the planting of their first vines, and by 2019 they established the small farm winery. Positioned in the beautiful farming community of Rockfield, their winery is the third in Warren County, offering a narrative of travel-inspired winemaking and veteran entrepreneurship.

Vineyard Details and Wine Production

Traveler’s Cellar sits on the state's official soil known as the Crider series, which is atop phosphatic limestone bedrock, excellent for viticulture. The vineyard now includes a variety of grape cultivars:

• Red Varietals: Norton, Blaufrankisch, Baco Noir, and Cabernet Franc
• White Varietals: Riesling, and Vignoles

The winery not only cultivates grapes but also sources them from regional suppliers including New York, Pennsylvania, Australia, and the Kentucky Hilltop Vineyard. Their portfolio includes a range of styles from sweet to dry wines.
