Awards & Press

Earning a stella reputation for outstanding tasting wine is based on our mission statement, which is based on quality before quantity. We have developed an outstanding reputation for producing quality European grapes in the Lehigh Valley of Eastern PA.

We are now an AVA! The American Viticulture Area is a federal designation issued by the Alcohol, Tobacco & Trade Bureau (TTB). This will enable us to better describe the origin of wines and allow consumers to better identify wines that they may purchase. This applies to all wineries in the Lehigh Valley effective 4/10/08. The AVA is an 1,888 square mile area including Lehigh, Northampton, Berks, Schuylkill, Carbon and Monroe counties. Currently in this designation, there are 9 wineries and 13 vineyards with more than 220 acres (BMV accounts for 50 acres) devoted to viticulture.

For more information on the AVA click here.

At our winery, we hand pick our grapes to produce the very best quality wines. Our wine has been served at the Presidential Summit, the Republican National Convention and in the Pennsylvania Governor's Mansion. Here are just some of the many awards we've been honored to receive.
