Boyer Nurseries and Orchards in Biglerville, Pennsylvania, recently reopened Boyer Cellars winery. The Boyer Family and their new partners, Kim and Rich Capozzi of Screaming Bambino wines, will be creating and developing new fruit wines, using their combined expertise and fruit trees of Boyer Nurseries and Orchards.
Boyer Nurseries, with an over 100-year legacy and expertise in fruit trees and specialty tree grafting, sits just outside historic Gettysburg in picturesque Adams County, where there are thousands of acres of fruit trees and farmlands.
Coming to the Boyer farm is a new agritourism experience, including advice for landscaping and garden design. Guests can try specialty wines while experiencing the farm, which includes a landscaping business with a garden center and nursery, as well as a farmer’s market.
The Capozzis have created a rustic, spacious tasting room in a former retail garden shop of Boyer Nurseries, featuring live music and drinks in a family-friendly environment. It’s recommended that guests call in advance to make reservations.
“Our family has owned and operated the farm for five generations,” said Emma Fleming, the co-owner who is spearheading the new venture. “Our growth and success are due primarily to the strength of our family legacy and reputation.”
Guests can explore the live, evergreen hedge maze and tour the nursery during their visit, or take in the scenic views alongside gardens and orchards. The Cellar’s wrap-around porch and deck is a great spot to enjoy a wine tasting.
The Nursery and Garden Center is open from 7 a.m. to 5 p.m. Monday through Saturday and noon to 5 p.m. on Sundays. The farmers market is open from 7 a.m. to 5 p.m. Monday through Saturday and noon to 5 p.m. Sunday from June through December. Holiday gift baskets and apple gift boxers are available beginning Nov. 15.
