TASTING FLIGHTS
Our tasting room offers a unique opportunity to indulge in the artistry of winemaking in Vermont, allowing you to savor both familiarity and novelty. Whether you prefer the comfort of a full glass pour or the thrill of discovery through tasting flights, we cater to your desires. Immerse yourself in the rich tapestry of varietals, each one telling a unique story through its color, aroma, and taste.
For the adventurous souls seeking new flavors, our tasting flights are designed to awaken your palate and expand your horizons. With five thoughtfully curated flights, each showcasing a selection of wines and ciders made with Vermont grown fruit, you'll embark on a voyage of exploration.
Themed after the Vermont flora that we draw inspiration from, each flight is journey in the unique expressions of our grapes and apples.
