A blog to provide bios for each of the voting Vermont Wineries, Meaderies, Cideries, and Growers in the council.
Hi, I’m Joe Laramie, and this is my wife, Caroline. We live in Fair Haven, Vermont. About a dozen years ago, we decided to grow some grapes. We made a trip to the Finger Lakes in Western New York, and I told Caroline while driving, ‘I think we can do it.’ So we returned and started a hobby with about 45 vines.
The Hill family has been farming Vermont for 8 generations and we are planting for the future of the 9th. We employ techniques rooted in biodynamic farming and wine making.
Vermont may be the most pioneering wine region in the country right now, and we believe strongly in the future of grape growing and wine making in our beautiful state.
Making hybrid space juice cooperatively; centering diversity, sustainability and the decolonization of big wine.
As Vermont’s most northern vineyard and winery, you can’t get much more Due North than that. Our wines are made with grapes grown right here in our own vineyard.
Our speciality is developing wines that truly showcase the grape varieties that grow in our local climate. We have our main stay wines year-to-year but each growing season brings it’s own flavors which can mean new offerings of wine styles.

We are located on Mount Hunger at the edge of the forest in the Châteauguay and in the Piedmont chain of hills in Barnard, Vermont. Here we grow alpine wine and ciders. Our mission is to care for our land in creative and natural ways, make way for the honest narrative told by the wines and ciders that express our unique landscape and each vintage year, and share in and support the spirited food and agriculture of our community.
