Faces of Kent State- Kim '04, MBA '07 and Chris '17 Rohr

When Chris and Kim started dabbling in winemaking, they uncovered a passion that would change the course of their lives. In April 2022, they made moves to open a winery situated on their own property with the vision of sharing the beautiful land that they had painstakingly cleared and the many history-rich wines they vinted. Inspired by Kim’s family’s deep connection to the Adirondack Mountains, Lost Trail Winery celebrates the beauty and tranquility of the outdoors. The enterprise is a true labor of love for the family. The couple’s four children are often at the winery, and Kim’s father helped build the tasting room and Adirondack chairs that visitors enjoy. While the path that led them to this adventure was a winding one, Chris and Kim were up for the challenge, and it seems the Rohrs have truly found themselves at Lost Trail in Canton, Ohio.
