Everything You Need to Know About Weathered Vineyards

 

How It All Started

Weathered Vineyards started with Richard and Dana the started in the picturesque, rolling hills of the Lehigh Valley. Richard is a former meteorologist and environmental engineer; Dana is a nurse with a fierce dedication to quality and a keen marketing sense. With Richard’s scientific mind and Dana’s marketing prowess, they have perfected the art of wine making and made Weathered Vineyards one of the top wineries in Pennsylvania.

Weathered Vineyards Wines

Great wine comes from great grapes. That’s why Richard spent so long identifying the best soil profile for his grapes and the exact terroir needed to create his exquisite wines. Eastern Pennsylvania happens to have soil that is very similar to what is found in Bordeaux, France. Weathered Vineyards’ products range from a variety of reds to excellent white wines, which can satisfy everyone in your group. Discover their light and crisp chardonnays as well as their rich, full-bodied merlots.
