Swiftwater Wine is a family-run winery founded by Kaylee and KC, whose story began in Kodiak, Alaska, over a decade ago. Kaylee grew up on a remote island living a subsistence lifestyle, where her parents made their own wine from locally picked fruits. She continued this practice after moving to Wasilla, and with support from family and friends, the couple now works together to gather local fruits from various locations. Their handcrafted wines are made for adults who appreciate the untamed spirit of Alaska, with the winery's motto being "Hand Picked With Love" and "You only live once, so drink great wine." The winery is open Thursdays and Fridays from 4pm to 8pm, with summer closure dates announced on their social media. They offer several notable wines, including the sweet Black Currant, the light and tart Rhubarb, the Solstice Sunrise, and the Saint Augustine blend. Customers have praised the wines as exceptional and locally made with local fruits and flowers, with one reviewer noting the owner is lovely and another excited that there is now a winery in the Valley.

The winery sits about 1.3 miles from the Meadow Lakes / Pittman Fire Station, roughly 1.8 miles from the Little Susitna River, and about 2.2 miles from Chignaki Pond, with North Church Road and West Seldon Road nearby.

Swiftwater Wine has earned a positive rating from the customers who have reviewed it, reflecting the quality of their handcrafted, locally sourced wines.
