The family-owned Round Lake Vineyards & Winery has evolved from simply growing grapes to producing its own wine to creating a restaurant and, eventually, building out a proper kitchen.

By the time the call for submissions opened for the FE&S 2025 Kitchen Storage Makeover contest, owner Scott Ellenbecker was armed with a list of problems to fix with the kitchen space. “I started to track what I wanted to change and adapt in the kitchen area, and the flow of the space was high on the list,” he says. “After you use something for a while, you figure out why it doesn’t work.” Winning the contest meant a chance to rethink the space by using a variety of kitchen storage solutions and an expert team to the space.

Could your areas benefit from a makeover like the one at Round Lake Vineyards & Winery? Submissions are now being accepted into FE&S’ 2026 Kitchen Storage Makeover Contest. Review the rules and download the entry form at www.fesmag.com/ksm.
