After celebrating our 20th Anniversary in 2015, we began 2016 with over 500 International awards and titles to our credit. This small, family owned business, began in 1995 as the way for the brother and sister team of Dr. John Brewer and Merry Bauman to "make the family farm profitable".

We have since gained our place on the world stage of wines - with two professional Judges and Winemakers now on staff - Dr. John Brewer himself and Merry's son Shawn Ramos. As a scientist, John had been making wines as a hobby for years.

The nostalgia of Elderberry Wine, and the acres of elderberries on their mom's ranch, was the start of 8 years and 200 formulas - to develop a world class wine made from elderberries.

Beginning with Elderberry Wines, we now have over 40 wines - made from fruits, berries, and some incredible grape varieties. Our Strawberry Rhubarb Pie Wine - just won Double Gold in an International competition.

We definitely have fun with our wines, and proudly make wines that taste good! It is not just about the awards at Wyldewood Cellars, it is about making wines that people really enjoy.

The Winery was originally in a rented historical building in Mulvane, Kansas. On January 28, 1999 the call came in that the winery was on fire. Due to faulty wiring in another business in the same building, the winery and three other businesses were burned to the ground.

The new winery opened next to I-35 on Black Friday of 1999. The whole family worked together tirelessly to build and open the new facility - expanded through the years. Today you will find up to four generations working at the winery, and Dr. John Brewer and Merry still there every day.
