Wine and Beyond:

Old House Vineyards is more than just a winery; it’s a trifecta of craftsmanship, offering wine, spirits, and beer. The winery boasts an impressive selection of wines, each with its unique character and flavor profile. From the sparkling brilliance of “Petillante” to the complex notes of “Bacchanalia,” there’s something to delight every palate. Noteworthy is the “Chambourcin Dessert Wine,” aged in Woodford Reserve Barrels for an exquisite taste experience.

Crafted with Care:

Winemaking at Old House is a meticulous process, with harvests taking place from early September to late October, ensuring the grapes reach their peak ripeness. The winemaking process includes gentle crushing and destemming, separating juice from the skins, and oak barrel aging in French, American, and Hungarian oak barrels to impart distinct characteristics to each wine.

Spirit of Dedication:

The distillery at Old House Winery takes pride in its commitment to quality. Their spirits, such as “Diceros Barrel Aged Rum” and “Agave Nectar,” are meticulously crafted without shortcuts, resulting in rich and flavorful libations. Visitors can enjoy a trip back in time at the Distillery Tasting Room, designed to honor World War II veterans and filled with historical memorabilia.
