History

Established in 2008.

Cassel Vineyards is located just two miles west of Hersheypark off Route 39 on Shetland Drive. The vineyards and winery are part of the 135 acre Cassel family farm. This farm has been in the Cassel family for five generations and operating since 1903. The five acre vineyard includes six varieties of grapes: Chambourcin, Cabernet Franc, Chardonnay, Vidal Blanc, Concord, and Niagara. It is managed and operated by Cassel brothers, Craig and Chris and their wives, Becky and Jody.

The vineyard is just one facet of the Cassel farm. It is also home of Cassel Brookside Stables, which is owned and managed by Cleon S. Cassel and his wife Dottie. This part of the farm is a thoroughbred racehorse facility and broodmare foaling center operated by Lydee (Cassel) Shea and her husband Tim. The 6^th generation of Cassel’s has also begun their venture in agriculture by showing fancy breeds of poultry at local shows including the Pennsylvania Farm Show where they have won numerous titles.
