Johnson Estate Winery

Grapes have been grown on the Johnson Estate for well over a century, and the Johnson Winery, established in 1961, is now the oldest exclusively estate winery in New York State. All of the choice European and American wine grapes used to make our wines are grown within 3000 feet of the winery. This allows us to take full advantage of the chateau system of wine-growing and making. Every vintage is a “handcrafted” limited production, and the entire vinification process, including the crushing, pressing, fermentation, aging, and bottling occurs on the estate under the Johnson Family’s direct control. Thus, the superb quality of our wine is constantly supervised from the vineyard to the bottle, and, like the finest wines of Europe, Johnson Estate wines are “grown, vinified and bottled in the Chateau Tradition.”
