The location began as an orchard in 1960, but became a commercial winery in 1997. Greg Shipe and his wife Charleke Glinka own and operate the winery.
A farmer's market with fresh cut flowers and vegetables just down the road is another attraction for visitors, Shipe said. Wine-tasting is free, but make sure to bring your driver's license.
DAVENPORT VINEYARD AND WINERY
Drinking in the local culture
If historic places aren't up your alley, then you might try some wine tasting in Eudora. To reach Davenport Vineyard and Winery, 1394 E. 1900 Road, drive four miles east on Highway 10 to County Road 1057, then drive north for half a mile.
Wine-purchasing and tasting are not the only fun to be had at the winery. People can schedule a time on Saturday mornings to pick grapes from the vineyard. After the morning picking, the owners provide lunch.

Nature's beauty outside Lawrence
Clinton Lake is west of Lawrence about 10 minutes on Clinton Parkway. The lake is divided between state and federal areas. Fees associated with the lake are different depending on which side you are on. The state side charges $6.50 per day to access the park. The federal side does not charge for access to the area, but does charge a daily usage fee to use the beaches, boat ramps or any other facility.
If wine and historic sites are still not grabbing your interest, maybe some outdoor activities at nearby Clinton Lake will get you.
The lake has trails, campsites, boat ramps and many other outdoor activities. There is even a restaurant on the state side called Jerkwater Grill. The menu includes items from seafood to homestyle meals. The resturant is open Friday through Sunday through Labor Day weekend.
Kansas is home to many places that can spark some interest or can provide a place to just get awav. For more Kansas trip locations, visit www.travelks.com.
