Eclipse Wine, Spirit & Cocktails
Winemaker Patrick Barrelet prepared a special wine & spirit release for the eclipse celebrations in April. The tasting room served specialty celestial themed cocktails throughout the eclipse weekend (April 6, 7, 8). There were two wines made for the eclipse celebration one was Solar Blanc an off dry white wine made with Vignoles and Traminette grapes. Gentle fruit and aromatic, perfect for sipping. Lunar Noir was a dry red wine made with Baco Noir Grapes. Full of red fruit aromas and flavors. Lighter in body but appealing for hors d’oeuvres hour right through dinner time. Eclipse Grappa was a special batch of grappa produced just for this occasion. The spirit connoisseur is sure to appreciate this unique beverage. Made with skins from our Leon Millot grapes from the 2023 harvest.
Craft Selection
Favorites that will last a long time. Even if the eclipse was only 3 minutes long.
Eclipse Music
Carol Ann Jones & Will Patton joined us for a special performance during the Great American Eclipse on April 8th, 2024. Music started at 1:30 pm. Enjoy the easy listening music from a duo that’s been playing together for over 10 years. Parking Lot Pizza Food Truck was serving food during the show while the bonfire raged and folks prepared for the eclipse, starting at 2:14 pm, with totality starting at 3:26 pm.
Eclipse Path
Snow Farm Vineyard’s location in the Champlain Islands was directly in the path of totality! The eclipse will passed over the Vineyard on April 8th, 2024. We succeeded in providing a safe viewing and celebration experience for all. Avoiding damage to your eyes with eclipse viewing glasses is one way we hope to help you enjoy this experience*. Plenty of parking and wide open spaces the vineyard was the perfect place to watch this extraordinary site!
*Souvenir eclipse glasses are for sale for $1 each inside the tasting room.
