Goold Hill
Vineyard and Cidery
FROM FARM HERITAGE TO VINEYARD & CIDERY
Goold Hill is entering a new chapter while honoring the agricultural heritage that has shaped this property for generations.
Alongside the revitalization of our historic orchard, new vineyard plantings are bringing winemaking back to the Estate, while our cidery celebrates the natural character of the apples grown on the surrounding land.
Our Cider Story is Just Beginning
Our own Goold Hill cider is currently in the making. We’re waiting for this season’s apples to reach harvest, when we’ll carefully select the fruit from our orchard and begin crafting our own cider.
While we wait for our first estate-made cider to be ready, we’re excited to offer guests a thoughtfully curated selection of locally crafted ciders from producers we know and love.
It’s our way of celebrating the cider-making tradition of the region while our own orchard-to-glass story begins.
OUR ESTATE HARD CIDER IS COMING SOON
Discover the story behind our Guided by the Wind ciders collection and the meaning of each of our soon-to-come estate ciders. Until then, enjoy our carefully curated selection of local craft ciders during your visit.
Growing Our Vineyard
Our vineyard is taking root as an important part of Goold Hill Estate’s next chapter, building on more than a century of farming tradition and a longstanding history of winemaking on the property.
With 17,500 new vines planted across 10 acres in 2026, we are cultivating Cayuga White, Valvin Muscat, Riesling, Steuben, and Corot Noir—varieties chosen to reflect the character and potential of New York winegrowing.
As the vineyard matures, our focus is on developing wines that are deeply connected to the land, the seasons, and the agricultural heritage of Goold Hill Estate.
From vine to bottle, each vintage will represent a continuation of the estate’s legacy while introducing a new generation of wines shaped by New York soil, climate, and craftsmanship.
