The Stable Winery

What The Stable Winery does

The Stable Winery is a small, family-owned winery and hospitality venue operating from a historic 1930s stable building on 120+ acres at 5961 State Route 7 in Andover, Ohio. The company was founded in 2017 when the Litwiler Family purchased the property — originally built for Dr. Lowery M. Guilinger's race horses, including the 1939 Hambletonian winner 'Peter Astra' — and completed more than two years of renovations to add a wastewater treatment system, commercial kitchen, bar, and wine-making facility. The winery serves local wine enthusiasts, Pymatuning Lake area tourists, and event planners through a direct-to-consumer model centered on a physical tasting room open Thursday through Saturday.

The core product portfolio consists of house-made red, white, and blush wines, complemented by domestic and local craft beers, select bourbons, and a limited food menu. Event hosting is a meaningful revenue stream, with live music every Saturday night and ticketed events sold through Eventbrite, alongside private event rentals via an online event request form. The firm operates with five employees and reaches its customer base through Facebook, Instagram, Twitter, an email newsletter, and partnerships with Ohio Wines and the Pymatuning Area Chamber of Commerce.

The business model is principally one-time on-premise transactions (wine, beer, spirits, food), with event hosting adding a secondary revenue stream. No pricing is publicly disclosed, the company is privately held with no external funding, and there is no direction-specific expansion beyond Ohio. The 120+ acre site and two additional 9,000+ sq ft barns provide material expansion optionality, with planned moves into bed-and-breakfast lodging, a wedding venue, and a music festival representing the principal forward-looking growth levers.
