ABOUT US

The Property

Monte Cassino Vineyard, is 20 acres, nestled in a gorgeous valley and hillside in Covington, Kentucky. Just a 12 minute ride from the airport and 3 miles from downtown Cincinnati the property is a hidden treasure, and a true find. One of the first vineyards in the country known as the E. A. Thompson Vineyard. The property was purchased in 1877 by Benedictine Monks, who named it after the original monastery founded by St. Benedict, in Italy, Monte Cassino. It is history restored to life and we have taken great care to re-create and preserve the history, while giving it a decidedly modern twist. Sculpture now dots the property, and the two rental properties are filled with antiques, artwork and objects of vertu, from years of our travels and collecting.

As a 20 year labor of love, we have cleared the old vineyard, exposing the 14 foot tall dry stacked stone walls. What was once the 1830’s summer kitchen, is now the Guest House, a tiny home, architectural gem, available here or through Airbnb for overnight stays.

Our most recent addition, the Tasting House, is a private cabin, sitting directly in the middle of the 20 acres and is now available for private overnight stays for up to 6 people or available for your private events. (See event page)

Our newest project on the property, is a small museum, of all things, Covington, monk, and wine from the late 1800’s to early 1900’s, stay tuned for details
