Great wine starts in the vineyard...

And the growing conditions for grapes in Bucks County rival the best in the world. Fertile, well drained limestone soil, moderate year round temperatures, and a good average monthly rainfall. No floods, earthquakes, irrigation, blistering summers or vine injuring winters. Our grapes grow and mature the best way… naturally.

Our vineyards are planted in French-hybrids, vinifera and native American varieties. Wine snobbery aside, we find that all three species produce decent drinkable wines that appeal to many different people.

We harvest through September and early October with a French-made Braud mechanical harvester, which shakes the ripe grapes off the vines and deposits them into a stainless gondola. We prefer this method over hand picking, because with our vineyards and winery on the same site, we are able to pick in the cool early morning, and process the grapes within minutes. They don’t sit in the sun for hours like many hand picked grapes.
