We enjoy some of our favorite moments outdoors, and wine comes with us. Whether we’re hiking, hunting, foraging mushrooms, drinking the view, gardening, fishing, or four wheeling, there is always a moment to pause, come together, and celebrate the shared experience with the pop of a cork and the clink of a wine glass. Wine needn’t be put on a pedestal or saved for the good company. Maybe your special place to enjoy a glass is at the beach, or on a boat, or by the campfire. Maybe it’s right in your backyard looking at stars on a warm evening, or perhaps it’s another middle school band performance. Wherever the place and whatever the occasion, it’s always the right moment to enjoy Passalacqua wine.

Vineyard to Glass

We think wine should taste like a specific place and our focus on vineyard-designate wines embodies that ethos. At Passalacqua, we start with the most expressive, highest-quality grapes to showcase each vineyard’s unique character. Our winemaking style aims to make each bottle a true representation of the vineyards we source from. We want you to taste unmanipulated fruit, balanced structure, acid, and even smell the brambly red earth the grapes were grown in. We make wine with the intention of showcasing all the components that shape each grape cluster, in balance and harmony.

Pair Wild

We know exactly where each grape in our glass comes from, and we like to know where our food comes from too. We eat or share everything we garden, forage, fish and hunt. These ingredients are best prepared simply. Wood fired pizza topped with fresh chanterelles and local cheese. Fresh duck breast, seared in olive oil with rosemary, sliced and eaten right off the cutting board… no recipe needed. Pair with a glass of Passalacqua, and there is nothing better.

We respect the time-honored traditions of hunting, foraging, and preserving what grows here, eating and drinking from the land we live on.
Each Passalacqua bottle represents a complete story—one you can trace backwards from every step, every decision, every hand that shaped it.
