Description

La Garagista Winery Overview

La Garagista offers a unique blend of traditional winemaking and innovative event experiences. Established in Vermont, the winery integrates local agriculture with creative culinary pop-ups and a commitment to community-supported commerce.

History and Background

La Garagista has recently addressed the challenges faced during the 2023 vintage. They are implementing significant changes to adapt to the limited wine production of that year, focusing on direct consumer sales and restructured distribution strategies.

Vineyard Details and Wine Production

La Garagista employs practices centered on homegrown, local, and regional produce, ensuring that the wine production process reflects a deep reverence for artisanal techniques. Given the scarcity from the 2023 vintage, the winery has shifted towards a more controlled release of their cuvées, available mainly online and on-site.
