Castello di Borghese Winery For Sale

Filed under: Wine

Another chance to own your own vineyard and live the winemaking dream. Marco and Ann Marie Borghese have put the Castello di Borghese winery on sale for $9.2 million. The 85-acre vineyard and winery are located on the North Fork of Long Island. They bought the estate in 1999 when it was Hargrave Vineyards for around $4 million. The Borgheses have increased production capacity and renovated the public rooms and offices. They aren't in a great hurry to sell but they have already had offers. The winery makes Chardonnay, Merlot, Cabernet Sauvignon and Cabernet Franc and also hosts Wine Camp, an immersion experience in the creation of wine.
