Welcome to the Calvaresi Winery Web Site. We invite you to enjoy the many award-winning wines produced by our small, family-owned winery, where quality is placed before quantity.

The winery began in the basement of a city row home in Reading, PA in 1981 with 600 gallons. Within 3 years, we had rapidly grown to 3,000 gallons. Recognizing the need for expansion, we purchased six acres in Bernville, PA. Our new winery was completed in August of 1988, and has a current capacity of 10,000 gallons plus annually, produced by pressing 30 tons of grapes and 10 tons of fruit varieties.

Our wines are fermented in stainless steel tanks at cool temperatures to retain the crisp, fruity, Germanic style of winemaking, and sealed with synthetic corks to ensure the wines' integrity. See how our wine is bottled.

Parking, tours, and tasting are free. We are located in Bernville, PA just 10 miles north of Reading. See the directions page for a map. Contact Calvaresi Winery for more information.

We are a member of the Berks County Wine Trail!

Hi Everybody, Well we survived the Finger Lakes wine Comp. with 2,700 entries, and the snow up there!

 

We entered 3 varieties in this international competition and won 3 Bronze Medals:

 

2007 Cabernet Sauvignon that gets aged for 11 months in new American Oak;

 

2008 Riesling that is finished in a Sweet Reserve at about 2% residual sugar;

 

Our old style Apple Jack that we ferment with brown sugar and raisins.

 

We are very satisfied with these results in such a large competition. Tom
