Constructed on our family-owned farm, Country Heritage Winery & Vineyard gives true meaning to its name. The farm has over 100 years of family heritage.

We maintain over 70 acres of vineyards and several acres of blueberries. We work with highly regarded vineyards and farms to source the rest of our fruit. With meticulous care and attention to detail, we strive to nurture the best grapes for our wines. After all, if the fruit is great, the winemaking is easy.

Beautiful winery! Tons of seating options, inside and outside. We were there for “Happy Hour” and had delicious wine slushes, walking pork taco and pork sandwich. The food was very good. We will definitely go back! I’m sure in the evening when they have music/entertainers the place would be booming! Very nice atmosphere!
