Our Story

Across four generations

The Sprague family has been growing grapes along the Lake Erie waterfront, south of Buffalo, for over 100 years. Our head winemaker, Damen Sprague, is a fourth generation Welch’s grape farmer with a deep passion and obsession for wine. Our grape grower, Bill Sprague, has more than 50 years of experience farming grapes.

Hand-Selected

To produce the finest fruit

We start our process with the selection of vineyards. There are 400+ acres of grapes being farmed by the Sprague family and only a small selection is used for wine. We start our evaluation of the vineyard with the soil quality, while also evaluating the health and age of the vine.

Hand-trimmed
In the selected vineyards, vines are hand trimmed and maintained with winemaking in mind. This means more care and less fruit per acre than a typical commercial operation.

• Sprague’s 2018 Semi-Sweet Rose

Our first vintaged wine! The 2018 vintage packs a punch of cherry, green apple, and strawberry. Sweetened lightly with cane sugar, we classify this as a semi-sweet party wine.

• Sprague’s Grape Wine With Agave

This wine is why we fell in love with winemaking. The perfect cut of concord rose’, sweetened with organic agave nectar. This multi-vintage blend is light, fruit forward, and refreshing.

• Sprague’s 2018 Semi-Sweet White

This semi-sweet Niagara white has the perfect combination of drinkability and zippity - do - da that will keep you sippin’ long after your first taste. No need to only pour a glass; kick back and drink a bottle . . responsibly, of course.

Going back generations

"We like to say we’re farmers turned winemakers and because of that, our main focus is producing quality fruit. We follow the French philosophy that the wine is made in the vineyard. Once we’ve produced the highest quality fruit possible, we do as little as possible to change the natural flavor and aromas given by the terrain."

Putting WNY fruit on the map
Our mission is to be the messiah of the concord grape and to assert Western New York as a respectable wine region.

The Concord Grape

And it's stigma

If you told someone in Napa Valley that you frequent a winery mainly focused on the Concord grape they would probably fall over from their eyes rolling back in their head. We laugh at this assumption, considering most California winemakers have never been to WNY, seen a concord grape vine, tasted the fresh fruit off the vine or most importantly, tried OUR wine.

A Familiar Flavor

Reimagined with 12% ABV

The Concord grape is America’s sweetheart when it comes to grape juice, jam, jelly and table grapes yet it’s not well known or respected in the wine space. Our wine’s aroma will remind you of Fall in Western New York and the taste will take you back to drinking Welch’s grape juice as a child.
