Priam Vineyards is a 40 acre farm that has 24 acres of grapes in production, with a breathtaking 35-mile view of New England countryside. The vineyard benefits from the unique microclimate of the hills of New London County, just 15 miles from Long Island Sound. The fruit is hand picked and they are able to grow classic European varietals: Cabernet Franc, Cabernet Sauvignon, Gewurztraminer, Chardonnay, Riesling, Muscat and Merlot as well as French-American hybrids: Cayuga and St. Croix. The rich gravelly soil, sloping hillside and a constant breeze provide the perfect climate for these varietals. As environmentalists, the owners 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.
