Romance begins with New Hampshire's first Frontenac, LaCrosse, Noiret, and Diamond varietals.  Our selections have been hand-picked to thrive in the robust New Hampshire climate. This matching of grapes to our local growing conditions, combined with our carefully developed processes for hand-crafting our wines, has brought CV numerous medals in many national and international competitions. Many wine judges place us among the best, and we are confident you will agree.

To meet the discerning tastes of our followers, we are offering many of our wines by subscription. If you want to reserve certain varietals, send us an email and let us know how much of each varietal you wish held for you, and we will gladly make arrangements for you.

Our town is steeped in folklore, in which it has been told that a party of hunters in the mid-1700’s felled a fine deer, which they proclaimed to be charming fare.  The town was then named CHARMINGFARE. The subsequent naming of “Candia” is for the Mediterranean town of Candia on the Isle of Crete, where a NH governor spent some time “on reserve”.  Legend has it that he thought it was such a beautiful place that he renamed our town Candia when he returned.  Our Vault Reserve wines forever immortalize this legend with label artwork depicting historic characters and our wine vault!  Look for our Vault Reserve selections  when we release our line of specialty wines.

CV is situated on some of the earliest farmed land in New Hampshire.  This rich tradition of farming is something that we are very proud of, and we feel is particularly important here in southern NH, where development pressures are so intense.  We are dedicated to preserving our agricultural history by crafting high quality products which prove our ancestors’ hard work, and the bountiful rewards they reaped, created the true foundation of our country.  This heritage merits preservation, and we proudly do our part to show that hard work and careful attention to quality are worthwhile pursuits.
