Gloria, Freeman's estate vineyard, holds a special significance in the winery's story. Acquired by Ken and Akiko from a neighbor in 2005, it was formerly an apple orchard. Named after the previous owner, Gloria, the vineyard also commemorates the serendipitous encounter that brought Ken and Akiko together in 1985. Ken's unplanned stop due to Hurricane Gloria led him to meet Akiko at a friend's party, marking the beginning of their journey together.
