When Did Weis Vineyards Open?
Weis Vineyards was a dream for many years before it became a reality. Owner and winemaker Hans Peter Weis grew up in the vineyards and cellar of his family winery, learning about winemaking from the generations that came before him.
After earning his degree in winemaking, he moved around a few locations in the United States before settling in the Finger Lakes region. He found the minerality of the soil and the climate of upstate New York very similar to his home and knew he would love making wine right here.
Weis Vineyards released its first vintage in 2017 and has been growing ever since! The tasting room looks much different than it used to, having gone through several iterations to get to the beautiful estate vineyard you see today.
