Wilson Vineyards is a true gem in the Chester County countryside. The winery is a family affair with each member contributing his or her own talent to the vineyard. The winemaker, Zach, believes that each grape varietal they grow should have its own stage to be enjoyed by making 100% single varietal wines (Chardonnay- aged in oak barrels and steel vat fermented, Sauvignon Blanc, dry Riesling, Barbera, Cabernet Franc, Cabernet Sauvignon, and Carmine with more varietals be grown in the future). Each wine tasted was an expression of the varietal's full potential. The Chardonnay was out of this world and the Barbera was full bodied and delicious. The wine speaks for itself. Every wine that we tasted was beyond expectation and a testament that with hard work and passion comes beautiful results.
The over 13 acre vineyard is on the grounds of the families farm with the three car garage being converted into the tasting room. The winery also has a small art gallery and exhibits local arts and crafts. The quality of wine being produced from this vineyard is sure to bring expansion and more notoriety in the future so plan your trip soon before the tour buses start to line up!
After driving an hour and a half to get to the vineyard and enjoying the wine as much as we did, we decided to leave with two cases of their wine. However, it is the hospitality and welcoming environment created by the family that will make us and you want to return with your family and friends again and again. The mother of the wine maker does the tastings and makes you feel like you are having a glass of wine with a friend whom you haven't seen in years. The experience was so enjoyable that we had planned on going to two other vineyards in the area but never left Wilson Vineyard! A must see Chester County winery that will make you want to return again and again!
