Variety of wineries, and wines, make this trail a fun, and tasteful, experience

Stroll through the wine gardens at Sharpe Hill Vineyard, let the kids visit the llamas and alpacas at Bishop’s Orchards. Sit at tasting rooms fashioned from 19th century barns and World War II-era hangars. Take a tour, walk through the vineyards, or just sit in an Adirondack chair with a glass of merlot and admire the stunning scenery.

No surprise that the best fruit wines are made right at this farm and orchard

Who would make more delicious fruit wines than an orchard? No one! That’s why Bishop’s Orchards is the perfect place to enjoy a wine tasting or just settle in at the wine bar (part of the farm’s original 1928 barn) with a glass of fruit wine created with the orchards’ own apples, peaches, pears, strawberries, raspberries and blueberries. Sample the diverse collection of national and international-award-winning wines, sparkling wines and dry and semi-dry hard ciders made at the winery, which began operations in 2005. The bar also offers other local wines and craft beers and popular froses (wine slushes in flavors like honey peach melba).
