Named one of America's Top 500 Wineries by Food & Wine Magazine, and recently named the 4th Best Tasting Room in the US by USA Today, Hermit Woods is a small boutique winery and deli located in Meredith NH that developed out of a partnership between Bob Manley, Ken Hardcastle, and Chuck Lawrence. Together, we strive to make wine, mead, and hard cider of the highest quality with the greatest emphas

is on locally grown fruit and honey. In addition to growing and foraging our own ingredients, we work closely with local farmers and pickers to find the best possible materials, ideally organic, to make our wine with. Some of the products currently available include wild blueberry, elderberry, crabapple, cranberry, raspberry, heirloom apple, and various blends of all the above and more. We seek to identify the depth and breadth of fruit that can be found in abundance in our local community and make the best wine we can from it, often in a dry style that will hold up to any traditional grape-based wine. We are very passionate about every aspect of producing wine, but more importantly, we love sharing our wine and the experience we have making it, with our guests. We hope our wines bring you the same enjoyment we’ve had making them. Visit us at our winery in Meredith or on the web at www.hermitwoods.com.

Fifteen years.

Tens of thousands of bottles filled.

Hundreds of performances.

Countless meals, conversations, friendships, celebrations, and memories.

What started as an experiment making wine from local fruit somehow became a winery, restaurant, music venue, gathering place, and community.

This video is a small look back at some of the moments that helped shape Hermit Woods over the last 15 years.

To everyone who has shared a glass, attended a show, worked beside us, supported us, or simply walked through our doors: Thank you.
