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.
