Monkey Island Winery was started at Royal Horse Ranch in 2010 and re-opened the fall of 2017. We are fermenting and bottling wine made from purchased juice, along with Cynthiana/Norton from our home vineyards along with Pear, Peach and Blackberry wines from Monkey Island fruit. Our journey to winemaking began in 2004 with the establishment of “Grand Lake Vineyards”. We planted 50 Cynthiana/Norton vines, 50 Chardonel (a cross of Chardonnay x Sevyal, first cloned made in 1953) and 25 Grafted Cabernet Sauvignon. We planted an additional 500 vines in 2005 followed by 108 Grafted Cabernet Sauvignon at a development named “Cabernet Bay” in 2006 and 2007. Val has been collecting wines since 1970 in Boston, taught Dining Room Service for “Johnson and Wales Culinary School” in 1980, opened “The Forum”, a high end Italian restaurant in Providence where he wrote the wine list. He increased his wine knowledge in Chicago managing the “Wine Room” at the “95th Restaurant” for 5 years in the John Hancock Building. He hosted, along with Michael Broadbent the pre-auction dinner for Christies Auction House, handling wines going back to the 1800's. Val has been a Server, General Manager, Head Chef, Wine Contributor for several Chicago papers, Maitre d' Hotel and Food &amp; Beverage Director. During his 23 years living on Grand Lake, he has worked at the “Shebang” Restaurant, the “Greenery Room” in the “Shangri-La Resort”, “Arrowhead” and “Cherokee Yacht Club”, two private clubs on Duck Creek. Val got his first taste of winery and vineyard work training with Marsha and Gary Butler at “Summerside Vineyards and Winery” in Vinita and attended several symposiums in Arkansas, Missouri and, of course, Oklahoma. With his wife Nancy, they started Royal Horse Ranch, Monkey Island Trail &amp; Hay Rides and Grand Lake Horse Camp, all viable businesses on Monkey Island.

Our winery is located 5 miles east of Sparks Oklahoma where in the 1900s a French immigrant paved the way to a land of vineyards. Mr. Leon C. Fouquet, an entrepreneur and award-winning fruit grower, farmed a parcel of land northwest of Sparks and had 100 acres of fruit trees and 14 acres of grape vines planted by the 1910s. Mr. Fouquet named his homestead the Dreamland Fruit Farm to celebrate the fulfillment of his American dreams. His work not only embodies genuine pioneer spirit but also bestows a legendary chapter to the history of wine growing in Oklahoma.Today, after decades of silencing the vines, Oklahoma has rekindled its interest in wine grapes. Many new vineyards have sprung up in the Sparks area since we built our new custom-designed winery in 2000 and conducted our first crush. A boost for the growth of Oklahoma wine industry occurred in the fall of the same year with the passage of SQ688, allowing wineries to wholesale directly to state's liquor stores and restaurants. And 2003 is again a vintage legislative year for us thanks to the passage of HB1107, which permits sales of Oklahoma wines at trade shows and festivals. We hope that you are as excited about this as we are.You have also seen lots of progress at the winery since our tasting room opened to the public in June 2001: Our wines have won many awards, new 1000-gallon custom-made tanks have been implemented, winery is undergoing expansion, and more acres of vineyards are being planted. We now offer a large selection of fine table wines and gift items. Our tasting room also boasts of a fine art gallery with on-going exhibitions and sales of original art work by renowned Oklahoma artists.We hope that after surfing through our web site your will be inspired to visit us at the winery. And so many of you do. You have amazed at finding us in the middle of the boonies" the first time you arrive at the winery. True
