Flag Hill Winery Tour & Tasting - A crazy idea…..Led to a great future.  Flag Hill Winery and Vineyard started with just a hope to grow grapes in the Northeast.  An idea that most people in New Hampshire thought was crazy.  In 1990 when Flag Hill began planting grapes there was not a clear picture of the future, only the hope they would grow and make drinkable wine.  Through trial and error, and more trial and error, a focus began to immerge.  Flag Hill doesn’t just make wines from their French-American, and Minnesota hybrid grapes, they also produce excellent fruit wines, a fortified wine, and they are now producing sparkling wines.
