Specialties

What started out as a commercial vineyard when we planted in 1999 has become a fully operational winery as well. Depending on the weather for the year, we grow between 50 – 60 tons of grapes. We have 11 wines, Vidal Blanc (dry white), Chardonnay (dry white), Traminette (dry white), Highfly (semi-​sweet white blend), Bull’s Blush (semi-​sweet rosé blend), Cabernet Franc (dry red), Chambourcin (dry red), Big A Red (dry red), Barbera (dry red), Meadow Breeze (sweet white), and Poorhouse (sweet red).

Come tour the vineyard and winery, taste our wines, and meet the family. Spend the day getting away from it all.

History

Established in 2010.

We planted our vineyard in 1999 and only planned on being a commercial vineyard, supplying grapes to other wineries. In 2009, we decided to start a small winery and kept 1.5 tons of our grapes to make wine. We bottled those in 2010 and opened our doors in November 2010. We have grown (pun intended) since then. We started with 73 cases of wine in 2010 and now bottle over 1,000 cases.
