Silver Thread Vineyard was established in 1982 on the eastern shore of Seneca Lake. On this site 250 years ago, the Haudenosaunee (a.k.a. Iroquois) people tended huge peach orchards, a testament to this temperate ‘island’ within a cool region.
Acclaimed winemaker Paul Brock and wine educator Shannon Brock took the helm of Silver Thread Vineyard in 2011. True to its founding principles, Silver Thread is an owner-operated, boutique winery known for sustainably grown estate wines. The Brocks practice a holistic, regenerative style of farming called biointensive viticulture. The winery generates 100% of its energy needs from a 28kw solar array located onsite.
Production currently does not exceed 3,000 cases per year. Wines are available for sale at the tasting room, through the wine club, via mail order, and in select stores and restaurants in New York, New Jersey, Washington, D.C. Pennsylvania, Ohio, and Massachusetts.
At Silver Thread, we seek to elevate the reputation of the Finger Lakes region by crafting outstanding, terroir-driven wines and providing a premium tasting experience. Our story is still being written. We are constantly learning, improving, and applying new knowledge to our vineyard, winery, and hospitality.
