Our Story – Shauna Thompson
The story begins many years ago. It is as attached to the land as it is to our love of wine. This charming, secluded parcel of land was once the hub of a liquor business that was both unlicensed and illegal. Many old-timers in Sussex County remember it as a place to purchase booze on Holidays and Sundays, when it was forbidden statewide. It wasn’t easy to get to, but those in the know could count on Bernice to have what they wanted (and she didn’t ask for any ID!).
The farming roots in our family run generations deep, and my family had farmed the surrounding property for years. When this property was offered for sale, we purchased it from Bernice’s estate. We farmed it until the size of farming equipment made it too impractical. That is where the Twin Branch story begins. My husband and I always enjoyed coming here to enjoy the peace and quiet and to observe nature. We taught our children to drive on the dirt lane (it looks like a highway now compared to back then!). We brought wine and sandwiches and would discuss how people would love an opportunity to enjoy what we were experiencing. We made some observations: the land here was well over six feet above the water table, our clearing had a North/South orientation, and we had well drained soils. These were all things we had seen and heard of on our visits to California vineyards. We hatched a plan…we could grow grapes, make wine that we loved, open a tasting room and share the experience!
Our love of the land and wine motivate us to produce and develop the best wines. We encourage you to relax and enjoy all that this space has to offer. Sit quietly or gather with friends. We hope you will return often. We invite you to come TASTE, EXPLORE, and INDULGE.
