| Our Vineyards |
|
Our vineyards lie in the heart of the beautiful Lake Erie Viticultural Appellation in the narrow lakeshore cordon below the escarpment near North East, Pennsylvania and the incomparable Presque Isle peninsula from which our winery takes its name. North East, roughly equidistant from Cleveland, Ohio, and Buffalo, New York,  was the orignal home of Welch's Grape Juice and has been a center of grape and fruit growing since the late Ninetheenth Century.   Our unique climate and geography results in a northern fruit growing oasis with a nearly 200-day growing season and temperate summers with warm autumn breezes and beautiful fall colors and sharp light. The wonderful and powerful aroma of grapes permeates the air during our September and October harvest season and is an experience that shouldn't be missed.  The steady rise of terrain off of the lake shore provides for many striking vistas as the vineyards and orchards blanket the land and follow its contours. In our wines and fresh grapes and juices we use grapes from our own family farm as well as from many other top quality vineyards in the area.  We're unquestionably biased but we believe our vineyards and farms are some of the most beautiful in the country, glorious in every season, and we invite you to come visit and see for yourself.
