Hardwick Vineyard & Winery

About Hardwick Vineyard & Winery

The Hardwick Vineyard and Winery is located on a quiet country road that winds around the Quabbin Reservoir, in the central Massachusetts town of Hardwick.  For more than a decade, the Samek family drove down this road with their eyes on the abandoned Giles E. Warner mansion, built in 1795, watching it deteriorate.  They dreamed of starting a vineyard and winery, and saw potential in the two-hundred-year-old house, built while George Washington was president.  In 1997, the family bought the house and its 150 acres of land, and began the painstaking process of authentically restoring it.
