Summary
Beginning in late May 2023, Antho Vineyard entered a stewardship and volunteer season after the deaths of founders Kate Leese and Adam Kendall in the 2021 Beaver Island plane crash. Tania Hanline reported preparing the vines and trellis work through November, while later family comments described the immediate goal as keeping the vines alive toward a first vintage honoring Kate and Adam.
Evidence limits
The forum thread is valuable first-person and family evidence about post-crash care, volunteer mobilization, and uncertainty. It does not establish ownership, business structure, financial support, vineyard viability, or a completed harvest; the thread expressly says the long-term future was undecided.
Sources
- The thread reports that Tania Hanline came to the island through November to weed, unhiller, and prepare trellises after Kate Leese and Adam Kendall’s deaths; it solicited volunteers and later said the families’ immediate goal was to keep the vines alive toward a first vintage honoring their children. The thread explicitly says the vineyard’s long-term ownership and future were not yet decided. These are participant/family statements, not a business plan, ownership record, or proof of a harvest.forum · www.beaverislandforum.com · 17 · t017734
