SALINA, Kan. (AP) The Smoky Hills Vineyards and Winery north of Salina has been sold.
The Salina Journal reports the owners of the 20-year-old winery declined to say who bought the winery, or discuss any future plans for the land.
The winery was sold through an online auction that ended Feb. 29.
Real estate agent Curt Marshall says three buyers purchased the 8.73-acre winery and three adjoining tracts about 40 miles north of Salina.
Online bidding on the names of the wines, production methods and other intellectual property will end March 16.
Norm Jennings and his wife have run the winery since his father, co-founder Steve Jennings, died in a tractor accident in 2005. The couple announced last March they planned to sell the operation to begin a career in lay ministry.
