It all began about 35 years ago with a few grapes planted in Ken Albert's backyard.
He leased three acres of land from Shelburne Farms to grow grapes commercially.
After partnering with Shelburne neighbor Scott Prom, they combined their grape growing knowledge and home wine-making experience. This took Vermont wine to a new level.
In 2000, the first commercial vintage was made and it was incredible.
They purchased the land and expanded their harvests where grapes for reds, whites, rosés’ and ice wines. Many of these have earned "Best in Category" gold medals in International competitions.
Their vineyards now cover a total of 15.5 acres and they are all located within a 7 mile radius of the Tasting Room.
