Vineyard, security sneak-in specialist present at 1 Million Cups
The founders of a local grape vineyard and a corporate security firm presented at Wichita’s 1 Million Cups gathering for entrepreneurs.
1 Million Cups ICT is a weekly gathering designed to aid entrepreneurs by making contacts in the community and gaining awareness. It meets from 9 to 10 a.m. on Wednesdays. Next week’s event will be at Wichita State University’s Old Town offices, 238 N. Mead.
Prairie Hill Vineyard
Founder: Dan Stockemer
Pitch: Stockemer is turning his old family farm near Colwich into Prairie Hill Vineyard. He grows an acre of grapes that go to a local winery and is developing the event side to include weddings, picnics and corporate meetings.

Status: The facility is open for business, and he is busy expanding it.
Need: People to schedule events there.
