News from Quantum Leap Winery:
Dear Friends of Quantum Leap Winery,
We have some good news and some bad news to share.
First, the bad news: Quantum Leap’s home for the past 12 years on Wilfred Drive was sold last fall; the new owners will operate in the space, so we are moving out at the end of April. We have loved the sense of community in the Mills 50 district and have appreciated the support we have received, and the friendships and partnerships we have made. We are grateful to our team members who have helped to build the winery through the years, and our wine club members who have been with us every step of the way. During our 12 years, we have been honored to host over one thousand events and we will cherish all the wonderful memories of the weddings, celebrations, fundraisers, classes, art openings, and the many other fun events that we have done.
Please follow our social media for updates and upcoming event information and check our website calendar for updates on what is happening at Quantum Leap between now and end of April. We hope to see you at the winery before we make our big move.
Now, the good news: this is not goodbye. While we finalize our plans for a long-term home, we are moving to a nearby interim location which we will announce within next two weeks. We hope to see you there.
We truly love being Orlando’s winery and being a meaningful part of this special community. We are happy to say that will continue to bring you award-winning wines and ciders; and we look forward to hosting many more private events, community gatherings and winery events soon. Stay tuned and again, sincere gratitude for your support over the years and in the future.
Thank you,
David Forrester & Jill Ramsier

ABOUT:
It is all about the love of wine and friendship for us at Quantum Leap. Founders Jill Ramsier and David Forrester combined their fondness for wine and conservation to establish Quantum Leap Winery in 2012.
Jill is a former food and beverage industry executive, while David is an environmental industry pioneer. Their mutual experience in business paired with their knowledge and passion for wine is the blend that propels Quantum Leap.
We strive to develop relationships with sustainable and organic growers in notable wine growing regions around the world to produce high quality wines with a reduced carbon footprint at a great value.
Equal to our appreciation for wine is a mutual concern and respect for the environment. Our core mission is to provide an environmentally friendly solution to bring wine to the market while maintaining a high standard of quality.
Our process starts with sourcing grapes from the world’s best grape growing regions. We work with small organic and sustainable vineyards to select grapes that will truly express their terroir.
We crush close to the vineyard site and transport the bulk “juice” to our Orlando winery in large, reusable vessels. This allows us to triple the amount of wine per container compared to traditional shipping.
At the winery we will do any final fermentation, stabilization, filtration, barrel-aging, and blending. When the wine is ready, we choose sustainable packaging like lightweight bottles and kegs.
