The Beginning

We are a small up-start family cooperative.   The founding members have a joint passion for the land, it’s fruits and wine.  This forms the foundation for a wine adventure.

The vineyard is located in Dartmouth, MA.  It is in a USDA plant hardiness zone 6B.  Initially, the vineyard is being planted with Vignoles, Cayuga White, Vidal Blanc, Cabernet Franc and Chancellor.  As the vines develop and as we experience the growth, other varieties may make their way into the vineyard.
