Location
Located near Mount Pinnacle in Frelighsburg, the estate hosts century-old apple orchards and a farmhouse originally built in 1859. The farmhouse’s distinguishing feature is an octagonal rooftop lookout turret that was used to keep a watch on the nearby Vermont border. Local residents claim that, in its first years, the house served as a stop on the famous underground railroad providing a safe haven for slaves seeking freedom. Many years later, it became a convenient meeting place for bootleggers during the Prohibition Era.
Also located on the property is Domaine Pinnacle’s boutique, open year-round to the public and offering tastings of products with appropriate food pairings, self-guided tours and an interpretation center demonstrating the company’s heritage and production process.
