Our Story

The Martin family’s story began unlike most in this industry; honeybees. Co-Owners George and Ginny Martin along with their son and Co-Owner, Ed Martin, ran a commercial beekeeping business up and down the East Coast. When they began searching for new ways to utilize their honey that’s when Co-Owner, Bill Martin, got creative. After experimenting with home winemaking he began exploring making wine from honey. That’s when the family knew this could be something really big. Little did they know where they’d be today.

What was once a family starting a new business venture out of their garage has now grown into established wineries and distilleries throughout upstate New York. The Martin family is undoubtedly passionate about what they do and the people they connect with along the way. We invite you to learn more about their story and to visit one (or all) of our locations to experience the family tradition with us.
