BASHAKILL VINEYARDS

Five years ago, Paul Deninno began to fulfill his dream of planting a vineyard and opening a winery on his property. He single-handedly constructed the vineyard trellis, using black locust posts, an alternative to using chemically treated wood. He also laid all of the tile drainage and installed a drip irrigation system which conserves water, fertilizer and energy consumption. He continues to plant, prune and maintain the entire vineyard himself.

This personal care and attention assures that the vineyard remains chemical-free and produces the highest quality grapes, which is reflected in his wines. Future plans include biodynamic practices in his vineyard, which Paul believes will bring the wines to a new level.

Come visit the winery where you can sample BashaKill’s award winning wines. You can also bring your own lunch and mingle with local residents and wine enthusiasts from afar. Paul also provides personal tours, showing where and how the wine is made, answering your questions, and ensuring you have a visit that will make you want to return!
