Opening in Late Summer 2012, our gorgeous new 11-acre LaBelle Winery will be located on Route 101 in Amherst, New Hampshire only 6 miles from Route 93, near the Bedford town line. The new LaBelle Winery will allow for the creation of quadruple the amount of wine that can be produced in the current Winery. In addition to increased wine production, the new Winery will feature a full tasting room open seven days a week with all 22 varieties of LaBelle wine available for purchase.
The new LaBelle Winery will boast the vaulted ceiling Celebration Hall for functions of up to 200 people, a spacious outdoor terrace for events with up to 100 people, and a plush, intimate Vintage Room for gatherings of up to 20 people. The ballroom and terrace will overlook acres of active vineyard for an amazing view to highlight festivities.
Here’s a recent article from the New Hampshire Union Leader about our recent groundbreaking ceremony, “The Uncorking of the Land.”

Construction/New Facility FAQ
1. When will the new winery open?
We are scheduled to have a grand opening in Summer 2012. We’ll have a more specific date as the project progresses.
2. Hey, are you taking away the Amherst Sledding Hill?
Not at all! The Sledding Hill at Bragdon Farm is our next door neighbor. When snow comes to New Hampshire, you’ll probably see us out there with our kids, too! Parents, feel free to stop by the winery after sledding to warm up and sample our wine!
3. Is the winery hiring?
We will need to hire more employees as our new facility nears completion, and will begin accepting applications in Spring 2012. You can fill out our Join the Winery form to be considered for a job with us.
Looking forward to your new winery! Can’t wait!
Hello and Congratulations!!!!
Can’t wait to see the new building progress and the finished product.
Props to you both on your exciting new endeavor! Wishing you much well-deserved success!
We wish you all the best. Can’t wait to join you at your new winery.
I absolutely love your wines and give them often as gifts.
Congratulations and good luck with your new venture. I have told all my avid wine sipping friends of your location now and of the new location coming. Looking forward to additional tastings in your new location and to restock my inventory. Some of my favorites I can only find when attend your tastings so I stock up then. A case here, a case there. Got to have my Labelle! Thanks, Julie
