About Va La Vineyards
Va La is Pennsylvania's cult field blend: Anthony Vietri farms seven Avondale acres of interplanted northern-Italian varieties, bottling site-named blends, La Prima Donna, Silk, Mahogany, that critics rank among the East Coast's most distinctive wines, tiny production poured upstairs at unhurried, salumi-paired pace.
One-family obsession and field-blend conviction built national-list standing from a mushroom-country corner. The East's quiet masterpiece.
Anthony Vietri is widely credited as a trailblazer of modern Pennsylvania wine: from his family’s century-old Avondale farm in Chester County mushroom country he makes small-production field blends of four to nine Italian varieties, all estate grown and fermented. His La Prima Donna was among the earliest skin-macerated whites made in America, long before orange wine became a trend. The wines sell only at the farm - tastings Friday through Sunday by reservation in the century-old barn.
