Merritt Estate was turned<br />
into a full-functioning winery<br />
in 1976, and was one of<br />
the first farm wineries organized<br />
in Chautauqua County.<br />
Since then, father and son<br />
duo William and Jason<br />
Merritt have dedicated<br />
themselves to their small<br />
winery, devoting their time<br />
and energy into producing<br />
some of the area’s finest<br />
wines.<br />
Merritt Estate is located<br />
in the largest grape-growing<br />
region east of the Rockies<br />
and the largest Concord<br />
grape-growing region in the<br />
world. <strong>The</strong> grapes and wines<br />
produced by Merritt rival the<br />
quality of premium vintages<br />
found throughout the world.<br />
Visitors are encouraged to<br />
visit Merritt Estate Winery<br />
to tour the facilities and surrounding<br />
vineyards, and<br />
enjoy free year-round wine<br />
tasting in the Tasting Room.<br />
A complete selection of<br />
Merritt Estate wine is available<br />
for purchase at the winery<br />
or online. You can also<br />
find their wines or request<br />
them at your local liquor<br />
store. <strong>The</strong>y are motor coach,<br />
