Welcome to pickering glass act wine making
Who We Are
We are the Hogan’s. We began our wine making journey as customers of Glass Act Wines. We enjoyed both the quality of the wine and the wine crafting experience immensely, so when Tony and Ann informed us that they planned to retire, we decided to purchase the company and run it as a family venture. To paraphrase a television commercial from the 70’s, “we were so impressed, we bought the company.”
