Paumanok Vineyards

Founded in the spring of 1983, Paumanok Vineyards' 77 acre estate is entirely owned and managed by Ursula and Charles Massoud, and their three sons. Only premium vinifera grapevines are planted, consisting of Chardonnay, Johannisberg Riesling, Sa uvignon Blanc, Chenin Blanc, Merlot, Cabernet Sauvignon and Cabernet Franc. The traditional dense planting of the vineyards at 1100 vines per acre produces more concentrated fruit and therefore higher quality wines. Only estate grown grapes are used and production is limited to fewer than 8000 cases.

The winery is a renovated turn-of-the-century barn that houses a fermentation tank room and lab. The spacious tasting room was built on top of the barrel cellar. It is surrounded by an inviting deck overlooking the vineyards. The deck and tasting room are the perfect setting for private parties and weddings, with many special events scheduled throughout the year.
