White Tail Run Winery

What White Tail Run Winery does

White Tail Run Winery is a privately held, family-owned Kansas winery (White Tail Run Winery LLC) that produces and sells red, white, and fruit wines from a single property in Edgerton, Kansas. The portfolio spans varietal wines such as Dry Oak Chambourcin, Semi Sweet Seyval, Dry Seyval, LaCrosse, and Vignoles; fruit wines including Peach (made from 100% Kansas-grown peaches sourced from South Baldwin Farms in Baldwin City, KS) and Apple; seasonal sangrias in Raspberry, Strawberry, Watermelon, and Pumpkin Spice varieties; a sparkling wine called Dancing Fawn; and specialty products such as Buck Naked Wine Jelly (co-developed with Jewell's Jamzz) and Buck Naked Wine Truffles (with Peters Family Farm). The firm has earned multiple Jefferson Cup awards (2012, 2013, 2016 Double Gold) along with sustained silver, gold, and bronze medals across Jefferson Cup, Finger Lakes, Great American, and Mid-America competitions from 2012 through 2024.

The business operates a direct-to-consumer model anchored by a tasting room at 2327 N. 400th Rd., Edgerton, KS, which serves as the primary retail and event venue, complemented by distribution to 25+ Kansas liquor stores with Gomer's of Kansas as the premier partner, presence at four farmers markets in Lawrence, Gardner, Overland Park, and Clinton Parkway, and e-gift cards sold through Square. In November 2023 the winery expanded its physical footprint with the addition of an 18-hole disc golf course built in and around the vineyard, which was ranked #9 worldwide among winery disc golf courses by UDisc in 2024. Pricing is unit-based and largely undisclosed publicly; the only publicly listed price is a $5 per-player disc golf greens fee.

Revenue mechanics span at least seven streams: wine sales (varietals, fruit, sangrias), specialty food products, single-serve Adult Juice Box sangria pouches, $5 disc golf greens fees, public grape harvest experiences with educational components and harvest lunch, custom gift baskets, and Square-based e-gift cards. The firm is bootstrapped with no external institutional funding, structured as an LLC domiciled in Kansas, owned by the Fuller and Flyntz families, and employs 11-50 people. Geographic operations are confined to Kansas, and there is no public listing, no parent company, no subsidiaries, and no M&A activity in the record.
