Expansion

Bloomer Creek Vineyard heralded the 2005 wine-growing season with a long-awaited expansion. This Victorian era carriage house, located on the outskirts of Saratoga, New York (photo taken by Debra Bermingham) is the inspiration for our new building, now under construction. This will enable us to increase our winemaking capabilities and welcome the ever-increasing number of visitors to our tasting room.

Construction is proceeding nicely; the building was closed in by the end of November 2005, and final completion and a grand opening celebration is planned for later in 2007.

The tasting room is currently located in the wine cellar of the new building.
