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 ten 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 twelve months before bottling. Grape wines are often aged two years. We use no oak barrels or oak chips to avoid masking the true flavors.
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.
NEW RELEASE : Red Barn Cassis, black currant dessert wine. Just like the Blackberry and the Elderberry, the Cassis goes nicely with a sharp cheddar. We have been waiting for the elderberry to be ready to bottle. Time is important, so no rush. Expect to bottle the elderberry and the blackberry this spring to be ready before summer. (The snow and the cold complicates the bottling, so I prefer to wait for thaw.)
Hot NEWS!!...Two major National Awards; Riesling (Silver Medal) and Cranberry (Bronze Medal) from the prestigious American Wine Society. Cranberry is going fast. (last spring the Blackberry and Mack Jack Hard Cider won International Awards)
More even hotter news!!! The Today Show on NBC featured our wine Thursday morning, Feb 21. The strawberry Rhubarb got the special kudos. This all happened while NBC was on site at Sugarbush Ski Resort.
Or visit our Retail Shop and Tasting Room on Route 100, Waterbury Center, at the Cold Hollow Cider Mill. Open 7 days week all year round.
Dandelion Festival::: May 24th. East Calais...1-5pm. Taste our new Dandelion wine from 2007 picking. First chance to buy the 2007 Dandelion wine. (Last year it sold out in baout a week) Local music. Fun, and weather permitting, also an opportunity to pick dandelions for next year's wine. This is also the opening day for the Winery fro the summer and fall season. Come on out, bring the kids too.
