Tony and Eveta Kugler, who fled Czechoslovakia in 1960s and settled in Lawrence, have grown a two acre vineyard with 1200 vines.

Tony works at Allen Press and Eveta at Kansas University as a senior programmer.

Kuglers Grow Wine as Hobby in Basehor Not Business
Les Meyer of Basehor mentors local winemakers as commercial vineyards thrive beyond a decade. Tony and Kay Kugler began planting in 1996 and harvest with volunteer help, aiming to let friends pick their own grapes and someday sell them. They now own tractors but still farm by hand and learn with each vintage.
