Sunday Funday at the The Summit Winery! Come enjoy our deck, great wines, and some sun! Just minutes from downtown Keene in Westmoreland, NH.

The Summit Winery, once a tobacco barn, turned gift barn was then transformed into 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 its own vineyard. Darren and Judy Horn have been making great wines for many years.

The Summit Winery put on its annual wine-crushing event on September 19, 2021.

Friends and Customers of the winery started off the morning picking 3000 pounds of Marquette Grapes and then headed to the winery to crush the grapes and get them ready for their bottling journey! A great day was had by all — thank you to all who joined us!

This video features the first step in the process of making great wines — crushing the grapes and getting them ready for fermentation.

The Summit Winery produces wines in Westmoreland, NH from grape varietals grown around the world. Their Pinotage wine is made from a grape developed in South Africa — dry, full-bodied, high-tannin red wine that has a floral, earthy nose with juicy dark and red fruit flavors like black plum, cherry, and raspberry.

History Lesson about The Summit Winery and how it got the name “The Summit”

The Summit Winery sits on 80 acres in the town of Westmoreland, NH which is located just five miles outside of Keene, NH. On February 12, 1752, John Chamberlain, one of the original grantees of the town of Westmoreland, drew “Lot No. 3, 5th range 2nd division" and named it "The Summit."

John Chamberlain later joined the Continental Army and fought at the Battle of Valley Forge. He did survive the harsh winter of 1777 and returned to Westmoreland and resumed farming. The original foundation of the farmhouse (circa 1800) can still be seen at the bottom of the vineyard. In the mid-1960s, Niles and Katherine Aldrich disassembled an 1856 tobacco barn located in Walpole, NH, and reassembled it here on the current site.
