What began as a garage hobby for Earl Hodges has ripened into a charming Camp Hill, Alabama, destination and event center – Hodges Vineyard and Winery. Located fewer than 5 miles off U.S. Highway 280 between Dadeville and Auburn, the venue offers beautiful views of the vineyard, a small lake and excellent options for both indoor and outdoor events.
“We bought the property in 2008 and planted our first vines. I grew up on a farm, so I know how to plant something in the dirt and pray it grows, and our vineyard has grown,” said owner Earl Hodges.
