Makelike Design brought Kerry Hill to life through brand identity and packaging design, inspired by the flora and fauna of the Snake River Valley.
Kerry Hill Winery is a boutique farm and winery in Wilder, Idaho, named for the distinctive breed of Irish sheep raised on the property. The focus at Kerry Hill Winery is producing beautiful, nuanced wines, but their land is used for more than just growing grapes. The landscape was designed to attract and nurture pollinators, owls, bats, and raptors — providing them with plants, flowers, and shelter. Respectful farming practices like these not only lead to better wine, but to a healthier ecosystem.
We chose to bring these ideals to life in our identity and packaging design by illustrating plants and animals native to the Snake River Valley, where the grapes are grown. Inspired by vintage botanical and zoological illustrations, we designed labels that refer to the flora and fauna that populate the region, paired with branding that evokes timelessness. Every Kerry Hill label has been lovingly and expertly illustrated by Makelike designer Evelyn Kritler. Since 2019, we’ve designed and illustrated over 20 labels for Kerry Hill Winery.
