South Dominion Vineyard is a veteran-owned, family-operated beginning farm business located in Cambridge, New York within the rural Upper Hudson Valley agricultural region. The vineyard is a vertically integrated producer cultivating estate-grown cold-climate grapes and transforming those agricultural commodities into premium, value-added wines marketed primarily through direct-to-consumer (DTC) sales channels.
