Flag Hill Winery - Wineries on Waymarking.com

This scenic spot in Lee, New Hampshire has been a working farm since the 1700s. In 1950 Frank W. Reinhold Sr. purchased the Reinhold Farm. Frank's son, Robert, managed the property as a dairy farm, servicing over a hundred head of cattle and a large herd of sheep. In 1964, the farm closed it doors and all the livestock was sold off. From that time until 1985, the property remained unused and unproductive. In 1985, Linda and Frank, Jr. returned to the family farm, took up residence, and started planning for their next career as grape growers and wine makers. Their first official act was establishing the name of the farm as Flag Hill Farm. In 1990, it became Flag Hill Farm & Vineyard with the planting of the first acre of grapes. An aggressive planting schedule has continued since that date. The very first harvest occurred in 1994 with all the fruit being sold to the New Hampshire Winery in Henniker, NH. The 1995 harvest was processed, stored, and vinted by Flag Hill. In the spring of 1996, Flag Hill Winery was established with a production of 500 cases consisting of four types of wine, and the doors to the winery were opened. In addition to the winery Flag Hill is also a working distillery, with its first product, General John Stark Vodka, hitting the market in December of 2004. With this foray into the arena of spirits, Flag Hill continues its path of growing and embracing new ventures.
