The Vineyard

Fine wines begin in the vineyard.
In our 60 acres of vineyards set on 475 acres of land above the Potomac River, we focus on just one thing: making superb wine. As the river wraps around Tarara, it protects it from freezes in the winter and keeps it cooler in the summer, producing lush and flavorful fruit.

The special climate and soils of our vineyard help create grapes with intense flavors, soft firm tannins and good acid balance. The wines produced from these excellent grapes are age worthy as well as being very approachable at release.

We handpick and use the best fruit available and handle the wine with care through every step of the winemaking process. Each year brings new grapes with their own distinct character and each year, Tarara's wines are carefully crafted to showcase their nature. They are always subtle, well-structured, food friendly wines.
