Russell Orchards Winery
|
|
The winery began with the acquisition of a farm winery license in 1988. We introduced traditional New England hard ciders in three flavors: Dry, Sweet, and Slightly Sweet. As we have expanded upon our fruit production at the Orchard, we have added many new fruit wines. Our goal is to produce traditional wines most commonly found on farms throughout the United States and Europe over the past 300 years. As our listing of wines indicates, fruit wines are excellent for drinking, sipping, and sharing at meals. There is a wide variety of flavor, sweetness, and unique characteristics not found in grape wines. Among our selection of fruit wines we have learned that there is a variety for every palate. Just try them - you will enjoy them! Wine tastings are always available in our farm store.
