In September 2010, Priam Vineyards became the first winery in New England to be completely solar powered, completing the installation of panels that provides all the power needed to run the winery as well as all production of our wines.
 

The winery was built into the hillside at the base of the vineyard, as a New England style barn. It was designed specifically to make use of the earth’s cool temperature in the wine cellar, as well as the use of gravity to feed juice from the crush pad to the tanks, to help reduce the impact on the environment.

As environmentalists, we also practice sustainable agriculture, propagating bluebirds rather than using insecticides, to maintain a healthy vineyard. The 40 acre farm has been certified by the National Wildlife Federation as a natural bird and wildlife habitat.
