Manhattan winery wins big at Kansas Business Awards

MANHATTAN (KSNT) - Liquid Art Winery & Estate in Manhattan recently won the To The Stars: Kansas Business Award for Agribusiness.

Kansas businesses were honored on Nov. 6 in Pittsburg for their contributions to Kansas communities and the state economy at the Kansas Department of Commerce’s 2025 To The Stars: Kansas Business Awards ceremony. Nearly 500 attendees attended to celebrate a record 431 businesses, organizations and individuals who were nominated across 11 different categories.

This year, Manhattan's very own Liquid Art Winery & Estate won the award in Agribusiness. Liquid Art Winery is a 16-acre estate vineyard, tasting room, winery and event space nestled in the heart of the Flint Hills. The rich soil on their estate replicates the soil profile of some of the most prominent grape-growing regions in the world, allowing the producing of premium wines.

“Kansas businesses are the backbone of the record-setting success our state has experienced over the last six years,” said Lieutenant Governor and Secretary of Commerce David Toland. “All the businesses recognized at To The Stars are worthy of celebration because they exemplify our famous work ethic and determination, further solidifying Kansas as the best place in the nation to do business.” 

Liquid Art Winery & Estate is open to the public Wednesday through Sunday year-round, offering charcuteries, artisan pizzas and of course wine, cider and beer. For more information on when you can plan your visit, check out the Liquid Art Winery website.
