Farming Grapes and Making Local Wine with Anthony Vietri

Podcast published: May 16, 2025

Southeastern Pennsylvania is not typically at the top of the list of renowned wine regions of the world. Yet that is exactly why we stopped into the tasting room at Va La Family Vineyard. We sat down Anthony Vietri, farmer and wine maker, to learn how his family has been farming the land in Avondale, Pennsylvania for almost one hundred years. We talk about his approach to farming grapes and crafting unique and complex wines flowing from the local terroir. If you’re into wine and looking for a wonderfully different and refreshing discussion about wine and the business of wine, this is a conversation to savor.
