Our farm sits on a beautiful piece of land; just under 9 acres.

The month of April finds Marshall  pruning all of our 700 or so grapevines. 

Come June it's time to do the regular upkeep of the vines which includes putting up more

wire, repairing the wire and fence posts, and making sure the irrigation system works. By

the time July comes around its time to do pest control. By late August we're checking the

sugar content to see if how close it is harvest time. Towards the end of September is usually when we

harvest the grapes. That's a very busy day! Come November we have to slow down a bit

since it's getting colder outside but we're busy inside keeping an eye on the wine. Through

out this year we're also hosting brunches, dinners, weddings, bus tours as well as privately

hosted parties. We love what we do and we're happy that it has become our full time occupation.

Grace Metalious wrote the famous controversial novel Peyton Place. She lived in the house

that is now The Gilmanton Winery.

"Despite the bitterness, Grace vowed she would never leave Gilmanton — it was the only

place, she told reporters, she felt at home. With the $1,500 she received for signing a

contract to produce two more novels for Messner, Grace bought new bathing suits for the

Metalious and Wilkens girls, secured a loan to purchase her dream house on Meadow Pond

Road, and put a deposit on a second-hand Cadillac."
