Michael Jackson — the winery's own materials note the name overlap with a certain entertainer — leased 26 acres along Hidden Valley Road in Leeds in 2015 and has been building what he describes as his legacy since: a vineyard growing ten varietals at elevation in the shadow of the Hurricane Cliffs. First vines went in around 2013; first wines by 2015; tasting room opened May 1, 2023, daily 11 AM to 6 PM.
Leeds is twelve miles north of St. George along I-15, and 5 Hidden Valley Road sits in the undeveloped piedmont connecting the valley floor to cliff country. Jackson grows Cabernet Sauvignon, Zinfandel, Primitivo, Tempranillo, Sauvignon Blanc, Malbec Rosé, Grenache Blanc, Grenache, Petit Syrah, and Syrah — ten estate varietals. TripAdvisor shows a 4.9-star average, with reviewers consistently describing Jackson himself as the host at tastings. Utah Wine Trail member. Bottle prices run $18 to $35 per customer accounts.
