What We Offer

At Blackmeyer Farm & Vineyard, we grow two French-American hybrid grape varieties: Vignoles and Vidal Blanc. Known for their distinctive flavors, adaptability, and versatility, these grapes are excellent for home winemakers and are equally well suited for juice, jelly, and other homemade creations.

It is also well suited for fresh juice and jelly, making it popular among both winemakers and home food preservers.
