Nothing's More American Than Fruit Wine
Family-owned wineries in every state create award-winning fruit wine, but it’s virtually impossible to find these small-batch wines in stores.

We feature fruit wines, cherry wines, hard ciders, honey wines, exotic wines and fruit-based spirits. Come on in ….

“Oh, don’t you be like me/ drink your good sweet cherry wine/ and let that whiskey be.”
— Leadbelly
Exotics
Pumpkin, maple, chocolate-hazelnut, key lime, dandelion, rhubarb… whether bark, nut, vegetable, root, common lawn weed or rare fruit, these “exotic” wines are all handcrafted by fearless and talented artisans.
Hard Ciders
“Cider apples furnish one of the most cogent arguments to prove that Providence had the production of alcoholic liquors directly in its eye.”
