What was once visioned as just a dream, blossomed into a reality. A reality filled with spirits and exquisite taste.

The Summer of 2016 will be an impressive milestone for the Russell Family. Westport Rivers Vineyard and Winery started off as just a small 88 acre field and has since expanded to 400 acres. According to SouthCoastToday.com, the family grows about 200 tons of grapes a year, produces around 7,000 cases of wine and sells over 6,000 gallons of grape juice to other wine makers.

30 years will mark the company's success this coming summer and the hard work and dedication has truly shown it. People from all over (not just locals from Westport) have visited to sample and taste their wine and food and the feedback is nothing but satisfying.

Their Summer Event Calendar will soon be filled with musical acts and talents from all over. It's a popular series of events that feature local bands and artists that make for a perfect Weekend getaway on those warm gorgeous summer nights!

Congratulations to a local business who followed their dreams and paved a path for another 30 more years and beyond!
