This family-owned vineyard and winery creates more than 29 exquisite wines and varietal blends, all grown in the unique micro-climate of Aquidneck Island and Narragansett Bay. 60 vineyard acres, planted with diverse varietals, benefit from the island's long, cool growing seasons that serve to develop complex flavors and a rich bounty for harvest each year.
