Putney Mountain Winery is an artisinal winery characterized in The Bennington Banner as “regionally renowned for its unique, high-quality wines”.  In a feature article the Boston Globe judged Putney’s sparkling apple wines to be “extraordinary”.  The winery specializes in hand-crafted wines made from the finest fruit grown on Vermont family farms.  Putney’s Apple Maple and Rhubarb Blush wines were judged, in  2006 and 2008 respectively, as  Best Vermont Wine at the Northeastern States Exposition (The BigE) held annually in Springfield, Massachusetts.   

 
  • The winery produces more than 1200 cases of fine wine each year. The dozen varieties of sparkling and still wines reflect the diversity of first-rate fruit from local farms.  Three of Putney’s wines are for sale year round: Heirloom Cuvee - a sparkling apple wine from a blend of heirloom apple varieties; Apple Maple – a still wine of heirloom apples bottled with a touch of local maple syrup; and Vermont Cassis – a sweet and tart dessert wine from local, unsprayed black currants. 
  • Other of Putney’s seasonally available wines include two sparkling apple wines made from single apple varieties - Green Mountain Mac and Northern Spy; three organic single-fruit wines – Simply Rhubarb, Simply Cranberry and Simply Pear; and two blush wines – Rhubarb Blush from a blend of rhubarb and strawberry wines and Blueberry Blush, a blend of heirloom  apple and blueberry wines.   
  • The winery occupies a large space on the ground floor of the Basketville store on Route 5 in the town of Putney.  Visitors are encouraged to visit the winery where they may observe winery operations through the viewing windows, tour the winery and taste for themselves the delicious, handmade wines created with the finest local fruit. 
  • Putney Mountain wines sell mainly in southern Vermont.  In addition to the winery they may be found at its tasting room and retail outlet located inside the Cabot cheese store at Quechee Gorge Village on Route 4 in Quechee, at summer and winter farmers markets, and in a few wine shops and specialty food stores.
