Holmberg Orchards

About Holmberg Orchards

A 150-acre farm in Gales Ferry worked by five generations of Holbergs. The program centers on Pinot Blanc, planted in 2010, and Gewurztraminer, added in 2014. The cellar produces over 35 apple varieties into ciders made in the English tradition, and fruit wines kept dry to off-dry, between 0 and 4% residual sugar. The portfolio spans Thamesview White, Bubbly Blanc, and wines built from apple, cranberry, peach, raspberry, rose, and blueberry. A tasting room anchors the property. The farm market stocks in-house bakery goods alongside the wines.
