to smoke Turkish tobacco, a popular pastime then, especially in Great
Britain after the Crimean War in the 1850s. Heavy velvet curtains would
typically hang to separate the smoking room and the rest of the home in
an effort to prevent traveling smoke. Sans the velvet curtain, the space
once reserved for men only now embraces a receptive and intimate
ambiance for wine lovers.

The expansive patio overlook provides a stunning view of the vineyard,
valley, and Mt. McLaughlin. The space is open year-round and offers cozy
seating areas with fire pits and blankets if needed. The menu includes
small platters with a Midwest flair to enjoy on the lawn or other special
spots. However, guests need not venture further than the patio to enjoy
the superior elements of Hummingbird Estate. From exceptional staff
service to phenomenal views to savory wines, a visit to Hummingbird
provides a peek into earlier times and a retreat for the body and soul.
