Mount Salem Vineyards

Mount Salem Vineyards is a winery near Pittstown that cultivates European grape varieties on elevated ground. The vineyard uses deep, well-drained soils with glacial materials to support the vines.

The winery was established in 2005 and began with planting European grape varieties. From the start, it pursued sustainable growing methods and traditional winemaking techniques.

The winery showcases Austrian wine traditions and demonstrates a craft-driven approach to classical winemaking. Visitors can experience how European grape varieties express themselves through the local terroir in the tasting room.

The winery is open to visitors on Saturdays and Sundays from noon to 6 PM and offers tastings in the tasting room. It is wise to check ahead about any special conditions, as access or hours may vary seasonally.

The winery uses dry farming, where vines depend on natural soil moisture rather than artificial irrigation. This practice forces roots to grow deeper and develop more concentrated flavors in the grapes.
