Sip these signature blends

Wines from our sister property, Villa Nove Vineyards, are also available for purchase by the bottle. Take them home to share with friends and family, and savor their characteristic terroir inspired by this very area, like notes of mineral and oak.

School House White

Our estate white blend of Chardonel, Traminette, Seyval Blanc, and Golden Muscat boasts a Pinot Grigio-like flavor profile that’s beautifully aromatic, clean, and crisp. Pair with fish and seafood.

Traminette

A must-taste classic, Traminette is the star of Villa Nove Vineyard’s 2021 vintage harvest! Incredibly aromatic with notes of grapefruit, melon, and honeysuckle, it’s perfectly balanced for spicy Thai recipes.

School House Red

School House Red is an estate blend of Chancellor, Cabernet Franc, and Norton. Layered with dark berry, currant, and fresh cut cedar, it’s a smooth, full-bodied wine ideal for succulent steaks.

Stay for lunch or dinner

We serve homemade food daily on our outdoor patio or in the indoor dining area. Choose from an assortment of woodfired pizzas, calzones, caprese salad, cheesecake, tiramisu and – everyone’s favorite – charcuterie!
