The winemaker, which also brews ciders, said in a Facebook post that the Wilfred Drive building that houses it was sold last year, so it must move elsewhere.

“The new owners will operate in the space, so we are moving out at the end of April,” it said in the post. “We have loved the sense of community in the Mills 50 District and have appreciated the support we have received and the friendships and partnerships we have made.”
