Sustainability.
Since purchasing in 2018, the Freund Family is dedicated to converting the land to a genuinely sustainable farm. We are focused on limiting inputs to the farm system and sourcing any inputs as locally as possible. We are a Certified Organic vineyard but our goals are much larger; our practices are directed towards nurturing diverse ecosystems and limiting wastes.
Connection to the Land.
The tasting room itself is housed in a converted barn, preserving the rustic charm of the original structure while providing an intimate tasting experience. Our guests enjoy wines in a setting that is both historically rich and exposed to the elements, embracing the raw beauty of the vineyard.
Historic.
Vitae Springs is a historic vineyard that is family owned and operated. The oldest vines on the property were planted from “suitcase cuttings” from Germany in 1978. The historic Grüner-Veltliner, Riesling, Müller-Thurgau, and Pinot Gris are some of the oldest planted in the country.
