ABOUT US
A family owned and operated vineyard
nestled in the rolling hills of Cambridge, NY
Welcome to South Dominion Vineyard, a New York State Grown & Certified family-owned vineyard nestled in the picturesque hills of Cambridge, NY. Residing on land that has been continuously farmed for nearly 260 years, our vineyard continues an age-old tradition of farm to table living. Established in 2016, we planted 1300 Franco-American cold-hardy hybrid vines on our family farm. These unique hybrids, developed by a pioneering Minnesota scientist in the 1960s, blend wild American and European vinifera grapes, perfectly adapted to thrive in the unique climate of upstate New York.
​
Our collection showcases a range of exquisite white wines and reds, each presenting a delightful spectrum of body, sweetness, and finish. We invite you to explore the distinctive characteristics and intriguing taste profiles of our wines, crafted with passion and expertise. Special features of the winery include the tasting room, built in 2019, that was constructed using post & beam building principles. Large windows, a vaulted ceiling, a beautiful fireplace, and comfortable seating, provide a welcoming atmosphere for our guests.
​​
Upstairs in the Loft, you’ll find a thoughtfully curated collection of used books—including titles for children—as well as vintage vinyl records, original works by local artists, and a unique selection of gift items. These include wool from our own Romney-Dorset sheep and hand-knit hats made with care. The space also features a cozy lounge where you can relax with a book and enjoy a glass of wine, craft beer, coffee, or tea, all while listening to music from our extensive vinyl library. For younger visitors, there's a child-sized table stocked with art supplies to spark creativity. Guests are warmly invited to stroll through the vineyard, meet the sheep, and explore our restored 1790 barn and 1766 log cabin—historic structures that speak to the many challenges early settlers faced in this region
