hade Mountain Vineyards & Winery

Tucked away in the fertile Susquehanna Valley, our land offers ideal growing conditions for grapes. We are pleased to produce our own premium wines, from vine to bottle. The vineyard began on our family farm in 1989 and has grown to include 65 acres now known as Shade Mountain Vineyards and Winery. We grow all our own grapes, including varieties of Vinifera, hybrids and native vines. These grapes are then fermented, aged and bottled here on our farm.

Currently, our vineyard is home to over 40 different varieties of grapes, including the following:  Cabernet Sauvignon, Merlot, Pinot Noir, Syrah, Sangiovese, Chardonnay, Pinot Grigio, Riesling, Traminette, Viognier and the list does not stop there!!  We enjoy the challege of growing grapes in the northeast, so we are always looking for new varieties to cultivate successfully. 

Our winery, housed in a 19th-century converted barn, can store up to 20,000 gallons of wine. In 2006, our barn underwent a renovation when an event room fitted with expansive decks overlooking the wines was added on to the rear portion. We now play host to several different varieties of events (i.e. anniversaries, birthdays, showers etc). Please stop by and take a look, as it's a perfect venue for so many types of gatherings.  

Looking for a unique way to commemorate a special occasion? We can offer custom-imprinted labels for weddings and other celebrations, as well as a unique line of wine gift boxes.

When it comes to wine making, we don't stop with grapes, however. Using locally grown fruit, our winery also makes and bottles a diverse line of fruit wines including Apple, Raspberry, Elderberry, Blackberry, Cherry, Strawberry, and Peach.

We welcome you to visit us here at our winery and vineyards outside of Middleburg, Pennsylvania. You'll marvel at the spectacular views, with pond and fields nestled into the foothills of Shade Mountain, and we cordially invite you to sample our wares. Our 19th-century barn houses winemaking and hosts free daily tastings of our full line of wines. You don't need an appointment; just drop in during our regular business hours. Visit during the fall harvest and watch the wine being produced in our barn!

Think of our area as a great escape for a relaxing weekend. In addition to Shade Mountain Vineyards & Winery, local attractions include Penns Creek Pottery, housed in a turn-of-the-century mill; Raymond B. Winter State Park, complete with hiking trails, lake and wildlife center. After your busy day, spend a night or two in luxury at The Inn at Olde New Berlin or The Vicksburg Inn.
