The Summit Winery sits on 80 acres in the town of Westmoreland, NH which is located just five (5) miles outside of Keene, NH.

This once tobacco barn, built in 1856, was transformed into a one of Westmoreland’s favorite restaurants and is now one of New England’s top Wineries to visit. The Summit Winery hosts grape varietals sourced from the US and around the world and soon its own vineyard. Darren and Judy Horn have been making great wines for many years. Many thanks to all family, friends, and the good people of Westmoreland for all of their encouragement in allowing us to share our wines at a professional level.

The Summit Winery is located at 719 RT 12, Westmoreland, NH 03467. We are open on Thursdays from 4:30 pm until 7:00 pm. Then on Saturdays and Sundays from 12:00 pm until 5:00 pm. The winery is also open Fridays from 12:00 pm to 5:00 pm through the end of the year!
