Ottauquechee Valley Winery, in Quechee is open every day, all year round, and offers free wine tastings. If you really want to say that you've tasted a local wine, try their Vermont Pear, produced entirely with Vermont-grown Bartlett Pears. Combine a visit to the Ottauquechee Valley Winery with a day in the Village of Quechee and with views of the scenic Quechee Gorge.
Besides the wines, shoppers will come away with gourmet cheeses and local made products. Groups are requested to call in advance for tours.
Most of the wines that we make are made from fruits other than grapes. We use apples, raspberries, pears, blueberries, cranberries and rhubarb. Altogether we make 18 different wines that range from very dry dinner wines to sweet dessert wines. Many people think of fruit wines as being sweet; although they can be made that way they can also be made into dry dinner wines that are not much different from dry grape wines. Our customers continually tell us that our dessert wines are some of the best they've ever tasted. We hope you'll try them soon!
