Nissley Vineyards
Nestled along the Conoy Creek in
the shadow of an 18th-century stone
mill, row upon row of trellised grapes
reveals Bainbridge’s Nissley Vineyards, Lancaster County’s oldest winery.
Founded in 1978 by the late J.
Richard Nissley, the vineyard is owned
and operated by three generations of
the family. Their collaborative efforts on 50 acres produce more than 25 wines using 13 types of grapes, including Native American, French hybrid, and vinifera varieties.
“We carefully tend to the grapes
when they’re on the vine, so we get
the best quality possible,” says Judith
Nissley, winery president. “But Mother
Nature has a lot to do with it, too.”
The fertile Lancaster Valley limestone soil, the Lancaster-York region’s slightly longer growing season, and hardy grape varieties have helped Nissley Vineyards garner its reputation for wine varieties ranging from very dry to sweet, as well as fruit wines such as cherry, black raspberry, and apple.
Built on an 18th-century farmstead, Nissley’s winery building is a former tobacco barn that becomes the centerpiece of the vineyard’s summer
lawn concert series in July and August. Winery tours and tastings are available year-round.
