The House Resolution congratulates Diamond Hill Vineyards on its 50th anniversary, recognizing the Berntson family's journey from their initial purchase of 34 acres in Cumberland in the late 1960s to the establishment of a successful second-generation vineyard and winery. Officially founded in 1976, Diamond Hill Vineyards has grown to encompass over 30 acres of vineyards and gardens, producing a variety of wines, including Pinot Noir, Cabernet Sauvignon, and small-batch fruit wines made from local New England fruits.
The resolution highlights the vineyard's role as a community hub, offering wine tastings, tours, and a picturesque setting for visitors to enjoy. It acknowledges the Berntson family's dedication to winemaking and farming over the past five decades. The resolution concludes with a directive for the Secretary of State to send a certified copy to the Berntson family.
