Coming from Virginia and having many wineries...
9/25/15
Coming from Virginia and having many wineries in our area, we wanted to visit some in the area since we were visiting Vermont. We were surprised by the wine tasting venue being in a basket shop but it was a very delightful and pleasant experience. The young woman that dealt with us was an amazing personality which created a perfect atmosphere to enjoy the tasting of an assortment of fruit wines. My wife is from Germany and I am retired military and we have been around the world tasting wines, and yet we felt at home at this small town winery tasting. We would welcome this young lady to Virginia to let us show her around our wineries any time she wanted. If anyone walks away from there without a smile, then something is wrong. We thoroughly enjoyed the experience and the wines. Not all of them are our taste, but that is very common in all wineries. Thanks again!

About Winery and Wines
The Dodges began making wines in the 1990s. Charles, then a professor of music at Dartmouth College, became intrigued by his graduate students' stories of brewing beers for fun. He even considered trying that himself. But near the end of the drive home to Putney one evening, as he passed Green Mountain Orchards, Charles had an epiphany. He realized that many of the best experiences he and Kate have, in drinking wine throughout the world, come from drinking local wine, made from local fruit, enjoyed near the local winery. Then and there, he decided to stick with Vermont tradition and craft delicious fruit wines from the delectable local produce.
