The Vineyard
Located in Center Cambridge New York, Autumn’s Harvest Vineyard is dedicated to producing exceptional wines from our 2 acres of estate-grown, cold-climate grapes. Our passion starts with a commitment to intensive sustainable vineyard management.
Every effort is applied to grow the best quality grapes possible. Extensive canopy management is utilized to expose grape clusters to sunshine, which allows the grapes to fully ripen providing optimal flavors.
Our varities include: Petite Pearl, Marquette, Sabrevois,
LaCrescent, Briana, Itasca, and Lacrosse.
Our vineyard is managed in a sustainable manner which is healthier for the environment and produces exceptional quality grapes. Great wines begin in the
vineyard, and we take pride in our intensive hands-on approach to ensuring we produce the highest quality grapes possible.
We grow cold-climate grape varieties because they can survive winters in portions of New York where winter temperatures can dip to minus 25 degrees F or lower.
These vines are also more resistant to disease. Of equal importance, cold-climate grapes produce exceptional wines that have depth, complexity, character, and fruit-forward flavors. Red varieties have soft smooth tannins to provide a velvety mouthfeel. Tours of the vineyard are available upon request and we are happy to share our viticultural knowledge with our guests.
"You can make bad wine with great grapes but you can't make great wine with bad grapes" Robert Mondavi
We are proud to announce that all three of the wines we entered into the prestigious Finger Lakes International Wine Competition were awarded medals. Our La Crescent was awarded a silver medal and our Rose and Marquette were awarded bronze medals. Stop by the tasting room and try them for yourself.
Autumn’s Harvest Vineyard is proud to announce the release of three new 2025 wines: Late Harvest Petite Pearl, Oaked Lacrosse (Theo’s Best), and a White Dessert Wine. The Late Harvest Petite Pearl and the Oaked Lacrosse are available in very limited quantities and won’t last long. If you want to try them get here soon.
Late Harvest Petite Pearl - picked in November after the grapes had shriveled and concentrated, whole cluster pressed. Sweet ripe red fruits. Soft and smooth.
Lacrosse (Theo’s Best) - Crisp citrus, apple, pear with notes of spices (nutmeg, toast, vanilla).
Dessert Wine - Frozen and concentrated flavors of peach, pineapple, apple, and citrus. Sweet and delicious.

Thanks for stopping by,
We have been hard at work filtering and bottling our 2024 vintage wines. We have completed bottling our Brianna (including a sparkling version), LaCrescent, Rose, and Marquette. We are working on a red blend right now. Still to go are the Sabrevois and the Petite Pearl.
We did not have any extra tank space (we had a record grape harvest that took all our tank space), so we will not have any cider this year.
We are also working on pruning the vines. Every winter each vine is pruned back to 2 buds for the next growing season. This is a long slow process.
Stay tuned!
Tim
