AWARD WINNING WINES
World Class Wines
BREATHTAKING SURROUNDINGS
Priam Vineyards has won numerous medals in international wine competitions. Our award-winning wines are produced in the style of Northern France and Germany. We produce 14 handcrafted wines which are released at different times throughout the year, as the products finish aging. We hand-pick our grapes to avoid bruising and ensure the freshest flavor, which ultimately carries through to our wines. Great wines start with a great vineyard and we have always been pleasantly surprised by what Mother Nature brings us.
Since our wines are handcrafted, rather than produced in bulk, there can be slight variations in the vintages from year to year. If you're planning an event with Priam wines, we suggest you come for a tasting a few months prior to the date to select and set aside the wines you want. We are happy to cellar them for you.
"The wines are fantastic and the setting is beyond breathtaking."
