It takes a blend of creativity and perseverance to make quality craft wines and spirits. It’s what’s kept Patrick Barrelet, head distiller and winemaker, going during the two years leading up to the launch of Snow Farm’s distillery. The newest Vermont distillery, which launched in the fall of 2023, is an expansion of Snow Farm’s successful winery, tasting room, and 12+ acre vineyard.
I’ve visited over 30 wineries in the past five years located anywhere from the West to the East coast, and I must say that one of the loveliest unpretentious wineries has been Snow Farm Vineyard in South Hero, Vermont.
