the Mineral Hills Winery

Behind-the-Scenes at the Mineral Hills Winery
Picture
Commercial-scale winemaking began in America in the mid-19th century, and nearly two centuries later, Northampton’s Larry and Sue Godard began their own commercial winemaking venture in Northampton. 
 
In 2010, the couple produced their first 50 cases. Today their Mineral Hills Winery produces more than 1,400 cases of wine a year. These include award-winning varieties: Cayuga White (Double Gold medal 2020) and Seyval Blanc (Gold medal) from American Wine Society Commercial Competition, and a Cabernet Sauvignon (Silver Medal 2018).



In this special behind-the-scenes tour, the Godards will describe their wine-making process and offer tastings at their family farm in the Mineral Hills.

Registration is required. Limited to 20.
Sliding scale admission: $15-25

Includes a glass of wine, a flight of five wines (1-ounce samples) or a sample of apples and honey.
(Age 21 and over for wine tastings).
