Grown at Greenvale Farm, our fine wines exemplify the beauty of our historic farm.

Greenvale Vineyards of Portsmouth, Rhode Island, a 19th century Victorian farm, is very pleased to be entering the 21st century on the Internet.

Greenvale Vineyards is entering its tenth year as a winery operation and its 20th year as a vineyard operation. The Parker family, now in our fourth generation, built the "Ferme Orne" throughout the 1860s. The wines are excellent examples of temperate climate wines; something we have been working towards for many years.

We, Cortlandt and Nancy and our four children, started on this project in 1982 in an effort to develop a productive use of our family farm located along the Sakonnet River. We began as growers for another, larger winery. We first planted Vidal and Cayuga, both of which are recognized for their cool climate hardiness. The New England Wine Industry was so young then that planting vinifera was experimental. A year later we planted Chardonnay and Cabernet Franc and the plants thrived.

Greenvale Farm is on the Rhode Island Register of Historic Places and the National Register of Historic Places. Our Goal is to maintain this cultural resource, a piece of American History, in a productive and meaningful way.
