Premium Grapes for Premium Wines
Family farm & vineyard beginning in 2002, we grew from wooded shrubbery to lush grassy vineyard and Christmas tree fields.
We specialize in producing premium quality wine grapes. Multiple wineries source our grapes to bottle up for all to enjoy.
Merlot
Loose berries in clusters 3-5 inches long. Deep blue/black color at harvest. Being a Bordeaux grape from France, Merlot Grapes have a velvety finish with after tastes of chocolate & cherries. Merlot is a very popular wine & can be blended with other Bordeaux Grapes. As a matter of FACT, our vineyard is very similar to the weather in Bordeaux France. Although our winters can be a little cooler in comparison, we protect our Merlot vines. Our merlot vines are graphed at the nursery with American rootstock to withstand our colder winter temperatures. PADS View Farm's terroir ensures our grapes produce exceptional wines & therefore are sought after by many wineries in our region.
Syrah
Syrah Grapes are tight clusters with thin skin & can be very challenging to grow in Northern Maryland Weather. Clusters can get up to 12 inches long with cluster weight being over 8-pounds! PADS View Farm is ONLY 1 of the 2-growers who can grow a quality Syrah Grape in the State of Maryland. Dylan has learned the tricks, but this requires endless days of hand work Syrah vine by Syrah vine to achieve exceptional quality. Syrah grapes are almost a dark black color at harvest. Syrah is normally blended with other Bordeaux Grapes to achieve a peppery aftertaste.
Petit Verdot
Petit Verdot is a bold, late-ripening red wine grape known for its deep color, rich tannins, and floral aromatics. Traditionally used in Bordeaux blends to add structure and depth, it thrives in warm, sunny climates where it develops intense flavors of dark fruit, violet, and spice. On its own, Petit Verdot produces full-bodied wines with remarkable complexity and aging potential—perfect for those who appreciate character and intensity in every glass. Find yourself a bottle at Mural City Cellars in Philadelphia!

Investments & Growth
To set us apart from other vineyards and increase the quality of our wine grapes, we made investments in new quality equipment with all the new technologies to produce exceptional grapes.
- 2017: Carraro Vineyard Tractor from Italy Chima high-powered Sprayer
- 2018: Renerri hedge trimmer
- 2020: Bird-netting device to protect the grapes from bird damage and get quality fruit to the finish line to ship to our wineries,
-2021 to present: We hired additional labor for the handwork of the vineyard.
Petit Verdot test vines
We started growing a new wine grape in 2022! about 100-150 lbs of Petite Verdot testing beautifully with a brix of 22 and ph of 3.23.
In 2025, We added an additional 320 petit verdot vines.
