Cascade Mountain was founded in the spring of 1972 by Bill Wetmore, who pioneered the production of premium table wines on the eastern side of the Hudson River. Bill, a former Novelist, along with his wife Margaret and their three children Charles, Michael, and Joan, planted the vineyard in 1972, built the winery in 1977, and opened the restaurant in 1985. Today, Cascade Mountain features a full line of award-winning table wines which can be tasted at the winery tasting bar or enjoyed in their two-star restaurant. Customers come from all over the world to enjoy a few pleasant hours on a lovely Berkshire foothill sampling the wines, and enjoying a meal along with other savories from around the Hudson Valley and the Berkshires.
