From our grapes to your glass

Well, it's time to say goodbye to two of our oldies-but-goodies. Our Rose and Apple wines are selling out and will not be returning (at this point in time, anyway... you never know what the future holds...)  We're giving Rose and Apple fans a chance to grab 'em before they're gone - while supplies last! Here at Franklin Hill Vineyards we honor tradition and also love to keep things fresh and new. We can't wait to discover what's over the horizon and look forward to uncovering and sharing our new endeavors.   

Franklin Hill Vineyards celebrates Christmas in Bethlehem

In addition to its winery in Bangor, Franklin Hill also has a wine shoppe in historic Downtown Bethlehem on Main Street inside the Main Street Commons. Check out what they have going on there this holiday season.

Visit the Weihnachtsmarkt

Our mulled Sir Walter's Red is being featured as the Gluhwine at Downtown Bethlehem's new Christmas City Village. Christmas City Village is an open-air Christmas market, fashioned after the traditional German Weihnachtsmarkt (pronounced vy-naukts-markt). It features 20 wooden huts, where vendors will sell a variety of holiday crafts and gifts.

Enjoy traditional German fare, or our hot mulled Sir Walter's Red every weekend in December as you meander through the market. No admission fee!
