Balderdash Cellars

Our Story

Born from a passion for fine wine and a dash of stubbornness, Balderdash Cellars was established in 2011 in the picturesque Berkshires of Western Massachusetts. The winery's name, a whimsical response to the doubts and incredulous reactions to our ambitious undertaking, perfectly encapsulates the spirit of Balderdash Cellars - a place where bold dreams and good-natured humor intertwine.

We believe that exceptional wine shouldn't be confined to the grand vineyards of Europe. Inspired by the captivating terroir of California, we source grapes from world-class vineyards, coaxing them into expressive and delectable wines right here in the heart of New England. The journey from vine to bottle is an intimate one, guided by our dedication to quality and craftsmanship.

From meticulous grape selection to gentle fermentation and meticulous aging, we employ time-honored techniques and a keen eye for detail to ensure that each bottle reflects the essence of its origin and the passionate heart of our team. Our commitment to excellence extends beyond the wine itself, encompassing the atmosphere at our tasting room, where we warmly welcome guests to savor our creations and immerse themselves in the world of wine.
