Dandelion Festival scheduled for Saturday, May 19, 2012 11:00 am to 5:00 pm at the winery in East Calais, Vermont will kick off the 2012 season and our 16th year in business. Tours, tastings and thoughtful tips on what to do with those pesky weeds which happen to be very nutritional.
New Releases:
Pear Ice Wine made completely out of organically grown Vermont pears. After the pears were crushed we allowed the juice to freeze naturally in our cold Vermont climate. Then the juice was fermented into a delightfully sweet dessert wine.
Back Roads Berry made with a wonderful blend of small fruits which grow easily in Vermont. It has a real depth of character and only a hint of sweetnesss.
Awards for 2012. This spring Grand View Winery chose eight products to enter into the Finger Lakes International Wine Competition. We received eight medals! Silver medals were awarded to our Cranberry Wine, Seyval, and Pear Ice Wine. Bronze medals were awarded to our Black Currant Cassis, Riesling, Strawberry Rhubarb Wine, Raspberry Infusion Wine, and Mac Jack Hard Cider.
Grand View Winery is a family owned farm winery producing exceptional grape wines and wines from fruits that grow easily and naturally in Vermont. In addition to using fruits from our own orchards and groves, we support other Vermont farms and orchards by purchasing their fruits. We use organically grown produce whenever possible.
Over the sixteen years that we have been producing wine, our wines have won regional, national and international awards. While focusing on fruits that grow easily in Vermont, we produce wines that are not overly sweet. Limiting the sweetness brings out more of the natural flavors of the fruit. All wines are allowed to age at least nine months before bottling. Our Grape wines are often aged one to two years. We use no oak barrels or oak chips to avoid masking the true flavors. The one exception to our production of fruit wines which are not overly sweet is our new Pear Ice Wine. Like any ice wine the intenseness of the fruit is brought out in the natural freezing process, resulting in a delightful sweet dessert wine.
Spring, summer and fall come off the beaten path. Enjoy our rural setting with 50-mile views. Bring a lunch to enjoy with a selected wine while sitting outside soaking up the views, flower gardens and tranquility.
Or visit our Retail Shop and Tasting Room on Route 100, Waterbury Center, at the Cold Hollow Cider Mill. Open 7 days a week all year round.
