About Us

For more than a decade, we have been handcrafting small batch wines in the Village of Hamburg. Our globally sourced juices, from more than 15 countries, are given a touch of local flair as we create the wines that we are so proud to share with our community. Over the past decade, we have released more than 400 wines and look forward to releasing many, many more.

We are in production all year round. Our batch sizes range from 5 to 30 cases of wine per tank and we have about 40 different tanks in process at any time. The unique methods we have developed allow us to offer a wide selection of wines ranging from special one-time batches to ongoing production of old favorites. From tasting room staples to seasonal favorites, there is always something new on the horizon at the winery.
