Vynecrest Vineyards & Winery
Dana Longacre's Company Details
In the Spring of 1974 after purchasing a five acre farm in Breinigsville PA, John and Jan Landis planted 50 grape vines on the crest of the hill. Vynecrest is the oldest existing vineyard in Lehigh County.Vynecrest Winery officially became a licensed winery in 1989 and the Tasting Room occupied the lower level of the barn (now the Vyneskeller)—we originally offered six estate-bottled wines.In the years since, we have purchased additional land (now over 70 acres) and planted many additional vines for over 22 acres of vineyard. Sam Landis joined his parents as a partner, followed by Malachi Duffy as the fourth partner and lead winemaker. We were a charter member of the Lehigh Valley Wine Trail, and saw the region be recognized as an American Viticultural Area.We presently make 22,000 gallons of wine, of which approximately 85% is from our vineyard in the Lehigh Valley AVA. That translates to 9,000 cases a year.Our wines speak to our dedication in producing fine wines. With over twenty wines ranging from red to white, dry to sweet, we are committed to making only quality wines. We enjoy what we do and we hope you enjoy the fruits of our labor.
