100% Solar Powered Winery
Mimi T.

I keep trying trying to be an adult...wine tasting. This lil gem is right on rt5 in Putney VT (downstairs from the closed Basketville). This little winery is amazing. No grapes, all fruit locally sourced (except the cranberries) and lovely liquors. Kim provided us with all the info on the wines. I'm not into dry and still appreciated the pear wine. In the end, we purchased the rhubarb blush. Sooo yummy. Saving this for a young lady's 94th birthday. Check out the pictures. Come sit a spell and enjoy a glass or two of delicious wine.

Those wines are great. Pear, rhubarb, rhubarb, and cassis are excellent. I should have given them five stars earlier. Also, I don't any New England winery who waves tasting fees. This place is a gem.

Definitely recommend coming here! We stumbled upon this place because of how close our airbnb is and we absolutely love their wine and service! Super friendly and knowledgeable staff. Great for locals or anyone just passing through town!

Simply Cranberry

Definitely recommend, try the simply cranberry and the simply maple. Delicious berry forward flavorings.

Lila was an amazing tasting host!! Such a friendly and warm place! Get to taste lots of wines and liquors and get an explanation of each tasting. Definitely recommend coming for a visit!!

Rhubard Blush Wine. So delicious!
Darria C.

I loved this spot! Added it as a planned spot to a weekend trip in Vermont. The host was extremely nice and told about each of the wines and liqueurs. The Rhubard Blush wine and Simply Honey liqueur was my favorite. Definitely recommend. There is a cute seating area too.

Coming from Boston, we decided to go exploring between New Hampshire and Vermont. I looked up this winery and said let's go! We had such a great time! $5 for the wine tasting! Surprise! It included liqueurs! We had such an amazing experience. I highly recommend this winery to anyone traveling in the area.

Alix L.

Had a great time at Putney Winery and Spirits trying out their wines and liquors. Lila was very personable and knowledgeable -- we will be taking a few things home today! Definitely come check it out!

Stopped here on the way home after our wedding weekend in Vermont. The staff was personable and welcoming! The wines were different and delicious! Highly recommend.

5 star winery. Went to a wedding shower there last night and all I can say is that these owners are…read moredoing it right ! What a beautiful job they did decorating it with table,chairs and table cloths. They even have a huge deck where you can go outside and sit or stand and enjoy your wine and look at the beautiful scenery of Stratton mountain ! The view in itself is 5 stars. A beautiful place to propose for marriage or just to sit and enjoy one of there home made wines. They have multiple kinds of both red and white. We had Kristen's catering from Keene NH cater the event. It is one of the best food caterers I have ever had ! Job well done ! The owners of the winner has a wonderful employee who served wine to all the guests behind a absolutely stunning wine bar. They do have a choice of beer,bud light or PBA if your not into wine and the people you bring are. Make sure you check there hours of operation because they aren't open every day. I have to say that this place is great to .eet friends or family to gon and sit and relax and enjoy there wine. They sell the wine by bottles of you want to make a purchase and bring some home. There prices per bottle are very reasonable ! I noticed before the wedding shower that when they where open for customers that they had a nice plate of cheese and crackers to snack on. What a great idea for Westmoreland NH to ha e such a beautiful buissness ! If they continue on with the path they are on with there buissness now I can see in the years to come that this will be a total success ! I wish I live closer because I'd be having all my parties there ! I highly recommend to all yelpers that you check this place out. It's not only a hidden gem but it will be one of the go to places for Westmoreland NH. I just want to mention to the yelp crowd. If tour heading up North on vacation in the spring/summer season apon us now,stop in and buy some to stock tour wine cellars,bars or refrigerators. You and tour guests will be in for a real treat with there beautifully made wines ! Also I noticed they sell homemade nh maple service made from a beautiful maple syrup Family business down the road ( The Ferguson family/ Mill Brook Sugar house 907, Rte 63 Westmoreland NH. Well, once again you can't go wrong on Yelp when you come across a 5 star rating winery ! Try this place out. And be prepared to walk in,select a beautiful wine and sit and enjoy the lovely scenery ! I was sold on it last night ! Job well done to the owners of this fabulous place ! Keep it up !

TLDR; We had a great time at the winery and enjoyed the wines. The two bottles of wine we had…read morebought seemed to have been improperly bottled where one went bad and the other had wine leaking out from the cork. We visited this winery in early June and did their tasting. They had a tent and seats set up outside. It was a nice set up and I forget who was there, but he was really nice. We tried a variety wine and actually liked a few of them. So we decided to buy a couple bottles, a Merlot and a Summit Rose. It was definitely amazing that their wines were good and nicely priced. Not to mention buying a bottle waives tasting fees. We had a great time and came back home with a couple bottles. Then, we put the bottles away on our wine rack along with 10+ other bottles. Now, we are not connoisseur of wine but we are definitely not new to wines and proper storage. We lived in San Francisco in proximity to the Napa Valley and were part of multiple winery memberships for a year or more. With that in mind, let's continue. Fast forward to early August when we decided to open the Merlot. We instantly knew something was wrong when we uncorked the wine bottle and it was fizzing at the top. We thought maybe that was what was supposed to happen although we had NEVER seen a non-sparkling red do that, so I tried a sip and instantly knew it was bad. But the bottle was perfectly fine and didn't see any cracks. So how could it be? We chalked it up to bad luck and picked out another wine we brought from San Francisco to enjoy the evening. Then, we decided we would try the Summit Rose this past Friday, so when I went to grab the bottle, I noticed a very small pool of wine underneath the mouth of the bottle. Then, I tracked it down to the Summit Rose. As you see in the photo, there's wine oozing out of the foil. And as I opened the foil to examine the cork, I saw that the top of the cork was stained and that there was a trail going from inside the bottle along the cork/bottle to the outside where it could have spilled out of. I decided to put it upside down on white paper to see if it'll spill and indeed, it did. Then, I left it out upright overnight and found some wine on the topside. Looks like some kind of pressure built up from inside for whatever reason and pushed some wine out the top. All in all, I want to reiterate that we had a GREAT experience at the winery. The outside seating (although inside looked cool but due to the current situation it was unavailable), the one staff pouring the wine and the wine themselves were all pretty good. But looks like I hit the bad luck jackpot and ended up getting 2 bad bottles.

Think of this not as a winery as you would in the California style. It's a liqueur tasting that enhances the finer agriculture of Vermont. Ginger liqueur is wonderful- sweet with strong flavors and I already knew it would make wonderful mixed drinks. The chocolate liqueur was delicious as was the apple maple wine. All sweet so go with the perspective of how to enrich a wine based cocktail or a champagne cocktail. If you're a dessert wine lover it's definitely for you. We ended up buying ginger and apple maple. Go try out the tasting and decide for yourself!

It is a family owned and operated business, and has been A family owned and operated farm from 1830. The Vineyard now follows organic principles with 11 different varieties of grapes. In 2012, the family went to Spain. Their grandmother suggested they open a vineyard and they took her counsel to heart. They cultivated hearty wines to begin; Concord, Catawba and Niagara varieties. As time went by, they expanded their selections. Today, they have a truly diverse collection of vines, from Tempranillo to Cabernet. The unique part of visiting this vineyard is the personal attention we get from the owners. Our group got to not only see each step of the production, but then got to bottle, cork and foil our own bottle. Afterwards, we got to see and sample not only the wine selections, but a wonderful selection of hors d'oeuvres. It was really, really a unique and memorable occasion.

The double barrel bourbon, a maple bourbon and & a maple rye were all excellent choices on the regular flight menu. I also appreciated Perk coffee liqueur & the flavors and complexity of the Snowdrop gin.
