Belle Fiore was recognized at the 2015 Oregon Wine Experience.[4] The winery earned several gold and double gold medals at the 2019 San Francisco Chronicle Wine Competition.[5] Belle Fiore's 2015 Terramisso Tempranillo earned a gold medal at the 28th annual Indy International Wine Competition (2019).[6]

In 2016, Kerwin was cited and fined by the county for "operating a restaurant without approval and not using prepackaged foods as required by land-use statutes governing wineries on rural farmland".[1][7] He was in a seven-year legal dispute with neighboring Ashland Gun and Archery Club until 2019.[2]
