About Glacial Till
Our story.
What began with a family’s love of making wine grew into a vineyard, a cider house, and a place to bring people together.
Our History
How we started.
Mike Murman began making wine in his basement. His interest in better fruit led the family to plant their first vines near Palmyra in 2003. John, Tim, and Craig helped turn the hillside into a working vineyard—planting, pruning, tending the vines, and making wine.
A generous harvest in 2006 produced more wine than one family could drink. A winery building followed in 2007, and Glacial Till welcomed the public in the summer of 2009.
What Glacial Till means.
Glacial till is the rocky soil left behind by retreating glaciers. It’s the soil our vines grow in, and the name we chose for a business built from the ground up.
How we started making cider.
When a severe frost damaged the 2016 grape harvest, Craig saw an opportunity to make hard cider. The family brought its winemaking experience to a new kind of fruit, beginning with apple juice from Kimmel Orchards.
Today, wine and cider both have a place at Glacial Till—at our vineyard in Palmyra, our tasting room in Ashland, and around the tables where you share them.
