About Margrain Vineyard

This family-owned Martinborough gem has been crafting Pinot Noir and aromatic whites since 1992, and they're not afraid to get creative with unusual varieties like Gruner Veltliner and Chenin Blanc. Stop by their cellar door (open daily) overlooking one of the area's original vineyards, grab a coffee at their onsite café, and if you're feeling thorough, book a vineyard tour Tuesday through Saturday.
