🏆 Did you hear the news? Not only is Dona Stella wine sold out this year, but our new wine label received a gold Hermes Award for its design. Our label was chosen for this recognition from among 6,000 creative entries from two dozen countries.

🐈 When I asked CMBell to create a stylized cat illustration in honor of Calico, our legendary 21-year-old farm cat, they perfectly captured the style I was hoping for.

Thanks to all of you who have supported our first vintage!

Where It All Began

Cheryl Hansen is your host at Stella’s Homestead. Her great-grandfather, Robert William Leid, purchased his first farm on top of historic Coppei Mountain in 1889. The original blacksmith shop, sheds, and water cistern exist today. Over seven decades the family worked the wheat fields, originally with horse and mule-drawn combines, later using tractor-pulled combines, and then more mechanized equipment.

Cheryl’s parents, Jim and Geraine, married in 1947 and settled where Stella’s Homestead is located today, 2.5 miles from the original Leid Homestead. Stella’s Homestead grew out of the Hansen legacy of wheat and cattle farming on the Coppei, where Cheryl welcomes family and private events that are perfect for enjoying great music, food, wine, and community.
