From the vineyard
The latest from North Mountain.
Winery news, new releases, vineyard seasons, and the gatherings that bring the estate to life.
Our hearts are incredibly heavy as we mourn the passing of Krista Foster, former owner of North Mountain Vineyard & Winery.
Before North Mountain became part of our family’s story, it was part of Krista’s.
She poured years of her life, her heart, and her hard work into this place. She walked these grounds, cared for these vines, welcomed people through these doors, and helped create countless memories here. So much of the North Mountain that we fell in love with carries pieces of her story.
When our family purchased the winery from Krista and the Foster family, she handed us far more than the keys to a business. She entrusted us with something deeply personal. A place that had been loved, nurtured, and called home for many years.
POV: you let the 8 year old take over the winery’s marketing department 🎤🍇😂
At this rate, I may be out of a job. 😂
Meet the people somehow keeping this winery running 🍷😂
