Harvest Ridge Winery
Harvest Ridge Winery is the 4th winery in the state of Delaware (Kent County, Delaware), United States. It opened to the public on November 1, 2013. Owned by Chuck, Chris and Chip Nunan, the winery sits on the Delaware-Maryland border. It is on the historical Mason-Dixon Line and has an original Mason-Dixon crown markers – number 47 on the property. For this reason the number “47” is prominently featured on Harvest Ridge Winery’s logo. The winery sits on 180 acres of farmland and currently cultivates 12 acres of grapes for wine production. The winery has planted Malbec, Viognier, Chardonnay, Landot Noir, Merlot, Cabernet Sauvignon, Chambourcin, Vidal Blanc, Muscat. Plans for future plantings include Barbera and Cabernet Franc. Using locally grown fruit, Harvest Ridge also produces wine made from other fruits, including apples and peaches.

The farm was purchased by the Nunan family in 2005 but the first vines were not planted until 2011. Construction on the 6250 square foot production facility and the 5000 square foot event space and tasting room was completed in 2013. The winery’s production facility is capable of all aspects of wine production, from vine planting to sales.

In an effort to promote and expand the wine and spirits industry in the state of Delaware, Harvest Ridge Winery owners, Chuck and Chip Nunan, along with other winery and distillery owners in the state, founded the Delaware Wineries Association in January of 2013.
