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.

At Autumn's Harvest Vineyard, every wine we make begins with grapes grown right here on our land. We tend two acres of cold-climate varieties—Petite Pearl, Marquette, Sabrevois, LaCrescent, Briana, Itasca, and Lacrosse—taking extra care to grow the best fruit possible. Our dense clay soils create wines that are rich, structured, and fruit-forward. We choose sustainable farming not only for the environment, but because it produces better grapes.
Great wine starts in the vineyard, which is why we’re hands-on with every step. By growing and harvesting all our own grapes, we can guarantee the quality that goes into every bottle.

Autumn's Harvest Vineyard began with my interest in making good wine and cider as a home winemaker. As my passion for making exceptional wines grew I decided to pursue a Master's Degree in Enology and Viticulture and I graduated Summa cum laude in 2020. I retired in 2019 and decided to pursue experience in the wine industry in the Finger Lakes wine region. I worked at a few different wineries for 4 years gaining valuable experience. This unique combination high-level education and practical hands-on knowledge serves me well as I strive to grow the highest quality grapes to produce the absolute highest quality wines.
Our winemaking philosophy is to let the natural flavors and attributes of the grapes drive the winemaking process. By letting the best quality of the grapes shine, we can produce approachable, complex, fruit-forward wines that are a pleasure to enjoy.
We offer several different wines, from dry to sweet, red and white, all from cold-hardy grapes.
Thanks for your interest in my winery/ vineyard, and please stop by and enjoy our wines.
Cheers!
