Three-generation Italian family farm — pond, picnic, bubbles, and a sweet Niagara for mixed palates.

Italian-American family range: dry sparkling and Sangiovese on one end, sweet Niagara/port on the other

Getting here
Our partner can drive you to Pugliese Vineyards
A black-car SUV with a driver, door to door. Ask for a price and our black-car partner will come back to you — which also settles the one problem a tasting day cannot solve on its own, that somebody has to stay sober to drive.
Pick the car
The quieter ride of the two, and the one people picture when they book a black car.

- Pugliese Vineyards takes hired vehicles by arrangement only, so the room needs telling in advance.
