AMHERST FARM WINERY has taken an unique approach in providing you with a memorable wine tasting experience. The Tasting Room setting is a 19th. Century Post and Beam Barn. The old Dairy barns charm has been preserved and enhanced with the addition of a modern state-of-the-art winery. A viewing area of the stainless steel tanks and bottling line are enjoyed by visitors thirsting for a fun and informative introduction into local wine making. Try the many fruit and grape varieties AMHERST FARM WINERY produces using the Valleys own local agricultural bounty. These distinctive wines range from dry to sweet and will delight the palette. Creative wine selections include carrot, pumpkin, cranberry, blueberry, apple, strawberry, as well as many other unique flavors. Hard Cider is another treat made from local apples. Lightly sparkling and slightly sweet, it reminds you of champagne. A delightful non-alcohol fruit spritzer is a kid at hearts answer to the overly sweet soda offered commercially. AMHERST FARM SOUR SODA is a thirst quenching all natural fruit creation enjoyed by young and old alike. Besides tastings of wine, ciders and homemade fruit sodas.
