Owl’s Eye Vineyards
Along the rolling foothills of Cleveland County, approximately 3 miles from downtown Shelby
lie the vineyards of Owl’s Eye. In 2002, owner Frank Hannah decided to venture into the
vineyard and winery business, planting on 140 acres of land he’d owned

Last year he hired Peter Jensen as tasting room manager, who brought a strong background in the wine industry. Sean McRitchie acts as winemaker and winemaking consultant.
