NISSLEY WINE EXPERIENCE
“Imagine a trip to our winery. Travelling down Vintage Drive, you find yourself flanked by grapevines, swaths of locust wood fence, and a majestic birch tucked among the scores of other trees, passing over the creek on a stone bridge, fish teem beneath you. A heron patiently awaits her lunch. To greet you is an 18th century stone mill and the adjoining miller’s house; the winery comes into view in the distance. As you enter the shadow cast by its towering arches and peaks. You marvel that the building does not look out of place with the others that are 200 years its senior. And now you see that the whole property sits in a small valley – a fertile oasis of flora and fauna, worlds apart from the bustling metropolis.”

Wine Tastings
Wine tasting provides an opportunity to sample the wines that we produce and are available during regular winery hours (see above). Nearly all Nissley wines are available for tasting, and you may select those which suit your personal preference. Ask our knowledgeable staff to help you find the perfect wine for you.
Enjoy your tasting flight at various places on the property depending on the day and the weather. During the cold winter months, enjoy your flight of wines either in the archway under heat towers and by fire pits, or in the winery production area next to the fireplace and wine barrels. During warmer months, taste inside in the air conditioning, or outside on the grassy lawn, in the archway, or on the shady patios. We offer many options for seating, but during the most beautiful days of summer and fall, bring a lawn chair or blanket just in case.
At our extension shops, wines are currently available for tasting on a limited basis depending on the shop location.
Reservations and Groups
While there is no minimum group size for a reservation, a reservation guarantees seating for the number of paid guests.

Picnics
Visitors are welcome to bring a carry-in picnic to enjoy with a bottle of chilled Nissley wine on the spacious lawn, the shaded patios, or the banks of the winding Conoy creek. We like to recommend Little Italy, a nearby restaurant with a drive-thru window, where you can stop on your way here. Their menu and phone number are posted online. Indoor seating for inclement weather may not be available at the Winery, but it is available at Little Italy, and they welcome you to bring in Nissley wine.
