About Holmberg Orchards & Winery
Holmberg is four generations of Gales Ferry fruit: the hillside orchard empire ferments its own apples, pears and berries into fruit wines and hard ciders, poured above a farm market that has anchored Route 12 since the 1930s.
Orchard-view tastings and pick-your-own seasons keep the family operation a southeastern staple. The hillside that pours its harvest.
