White Tail Run Winery, Vineyard and Disc Golf Course

White Tail Run Winery, Vineyard and Disc Golf Course is a winery in Gardner, KS. The business produces complex and flavorful Kansas table wines, aiming to create products with more character that redefine perceptions of regional viticulture. The operation features a tasting room designed as a destination for quiet afternoons with friends or smaller private events. In addition to on-site visits, the wines are available for purchase through local liquor stores that carry the brand.

The winery was started in 2003 by Dan Fuller, who initially grew grapes as a retirement hobby before deciding to pursue winemaking full time with his family. The founding group includes Dan, his wife Nancy, son Dusty, daughter-in-law Jennifer, daughter Christy, and son-in-law Josh. Dan began by making wine from the Seyval grape and entered it into an amateur competition where it won a bronze medal. This success led the family to expand their efforts, resulting in a vineyard that now spans 5 acres with 3 different varieties of grapes. Dan Fuller Sr. serves as the patriarch and vintner, while his son, Dan "Dusty" Fuller Jr., also works as a vintner, having joined the effort after seeing his father's new hobby. The business has received recognition for its wines, with awards noted as a point of pride for the team.

In 2023, the property expanded its offerings by opening an 18-hole vineyard disc golf course. This addition originated when Dusty and Christy took their children to play at Big Bull Creek during the pandemic shutdown, leading them to develop the course on their own land. The facility allows visitors to combine wine tasting with outdoor recreation. The winery is located at 2327 North 400th Road in Edgerton, KS, which is part of the Gardner area. Directions from Kansas City involve taking I-35 South to the Homestead Lane exit, while directions from Lawrence use KS-10 East to the Church Street exit. The site is situated at the bottom of a hill, accessible via N. 400th Rd.

The business holds a rating of 4.70 from customers who have reviewed it. This positive feedback reflects the quality of the wines and the experience provided at the tasting room. The combination of award-winning table wines, a family-run vineyard, and an on-site disc golf course distinguishes the property within the Gardner, KS wine community.
