Two days til 2009 Opening!


Only a few more days until we open for the 2009 season. Can't wait!

New this year in our gift shop is pottery and wood-turning by local artist John Chianelli. We just put the finishing touches on his display case in our tasting room. (Picture right: Don and artist John C.) We have the exclusive for John's limited-production fine art.

Did I mention that brother Alan's Unbridled Chocolates were recently listed by Yankee Magazine as one of the top five chocolate shops in New England? Our gift shop is the only place west of the Mississippi where you can buy these. Sure hope you'll come join us in the vineyard and check out all our treasures!

Boys (& Bottles) of Summer return!

The Crofut Winery is open to the public for summer starting Saturday, April 18th. Stop by and check out all our delicious new wines!

The vineyard has only been open to the public for two years, but ALL of our wines have won at least one national award. Just a note in the medals this spring; Feb was a good start: Gold Frontenac Red, Hilton Head WineFest; Bronze, Front Gris Nat'l Womens Wine, Santa Rosa Ca; 6 Medals at Finger Lakes, Geneva NY.

We've been invited to serve our wines at the Basilica Block Party Vip tent with Cities 97 on July 10-12. Rock on Lauren, Erick and Jenna!

More Cities 97 events with Crofut Family in Sept (Grape Stomp 09, Mn Wine Tour and Studio C...yes possibly in the vineyard. Hope Sheryl Crow will be hanging with the the Crow-foots in September.
