Celebrating heritage grape varieties, originally developed, bred, or grown in the Hudson Valley

Goals of the Milea Heritage Project

 

The goals of this project are to re-introduce to a national and international audience the significant contributions that the Hudson Valley has made to American horticulture and to encourage the cultivation of these heritage varieties to produce superior wines. Coupled with this effort to bring back these heritage grape varieties is the desire to promote the cultivation of such grapes because they can be grown in an environmentally sustainable manner.
