Silver Thread Vineyard

Silver Thread Vineyard is a boutique, winemaker-owned winery on the east side of Seneca Lake, producing classic European-style fine wines. Recognized as a "Lake Friendly Farmer" by the NYS Agricultural Environmental Management Program, they grow grapes with local non-toxic fertilizer, biological pest control, and cultivation methods that protect soil and water sources. Other sustainability practices include energy-efficient buildings powered by an air-source heat pump and solar photovoltaic system, tractors powered partly by biodiesel, usage of wine-making wastes as onsite fertilizer, low-impact wine packaging, and purchases of carbon offsets for wine shipping.
