There is an old saying that if you do something you love, you’ll never have to work a day in your life. That’s an adage that the Tomasello family has followed, turning farmland that has been in the family for four generations and a long-standing hobby into a thriving, successful winery.
With nine acres of vineyards on the premises (they own another few acres just down the road), a tour of Plagido’s Winery means you’ll not only get to see what goes on in the back rooms, you’ll get to walk a bit through the fields before heading into the tasting room to sample what they’ve been turning out.
And what they have been turning out is 4,000 – 5,000 gallons of 19 different kinds of grape and fruit wines that are turning heads. This year they plan to introduce apple wine, chambourcin, vital blanc, Niagara, shiraz to their offerings.
A few times a year Plagido’s Winery pulls out the stops and stages special events where you’ll get a full tour, special tastings and other goodies, such as music or chocolates or cheeses or whatever else goes with the theme.
