Welcome to the official website of Yellow Barn Winery
Tired of the Same Old Wine?
You have come to the right place.
Do you know that many of the world's excellent wines are made from grapes that
you may not have ever heard of before?
Here at Yellow Barn Winery you have the opportunity to taste wines
made from these grapes.
Yellow Barn Winery is the only winery in Watertown, New York. Watertown has one of the most challenging climates to grow wine grapes in the United States. We can have snow in late May or June and frost in early September. We also can get as cold as minus 40 degree F.
Why Yellow Barn Winery is a environmental friendly (Green Industry) worthy of your support. Yellow Barn Winery uses very little energy (a small carbon footprint).
A. Energy requirements are minimal. We utilize Mother Nature to assist in the wine making process, i.e. cold stabilizes wines during winter.
B. Use very little fossil fuel energy and are exploring the use of solar energy.
C. Recycle all by-products in an organically positive way on the farm.
D. .90 cents out of every dollar purchase goes back into the local commnity or other NY businesses.
E. All products produced on the farm are produced in a bio-friendly manner.
F. We produce wine from grape varieties that are sustainable and biologiecally compatible with our environment.
G. We use natural products to grow our grapes.
H. WE MAKE REALLY GOOD WINE.
In 2002 we started experimenting with cold hardy grapes on our farm in Watertown NY. I was probably the only one around that was happy to have our temperature hit minus 40 and see our grapes survive and produce that year.
