About Jamesport Vineyards
Description
Jamesport Vineyards is a father-son collaboration that began in 1981 at Early Rising Farm in Cutchogue, making Jamesport Vineyards one of the North Fork's oldest vineyards. 60 acres of pristine vineyards are located here. The majority of plantings include Sauvignon Blanc, Chardonnay, Merlot and Cabernet Franc. The high quality of their fruit is what gained Jamesport Vineyards a reputation and caused their fruit to be in high demand from both local and upstate wineries. Jamesport Vineyards is truly an estate winery. All of our wines are produced using only OUR high quality fruit. Ron Goerler Sr. acquired the 150-year-old barn that houses the winery and tasting room in 1986. Drawing on the great Cutchogue fruit supply as well as the talents of his son, Ron Jr., he started Jamesport Vineyards in 1989. Since then, a lot has changed, both aesthetically and agriculturally. Our tasting room has increased in size and our tasting bar has been enlarged to accommodate a growing number of visitors. Additionally, a large grassy backyard is available for Musical events, private parties and weddings. In the vineyards, more grapes have been planted. Two thousand Sauvignon Blanc vines, for instance, have been planted to European spacing, which is far denser than the usual Long Island practice, and is expected to produce an even higher quality fruit. Additionally, new clones of Cabernet Franc, Dijon Chardonnay and Syrah were selected from California vineyards for planting at the winery locale. Jamesport Vineyards is continuing its quest to produce World-Class wines. The Goerlers are already seeing their commitment to upgrade pay off both in sales and visibility. The number of visitors to Jamesport Vineyards continues to grow yearly, as does their collection of awards and medals. Please stop by to sample our many fine wines. The winery tasting room is open seven days a week from 10 A.M. to 6 P.M.
