Putting Down Roots in Pennsylvania
The family moved to Pennsylvania, fell in love with the green terrain, the hospitality of the people and decided to stay.
2013
Experimenting in the Basement
The first carboys of wine were created in the family home basement. While it wasn’t very good, at least it tasted like wine. Determined to do better, each year Yuval and Leli worked to perfect their craft and began sharing it with friends and family. Slowly the idea of starting a winery took hold.
2016
Mastering the Craft
To refine his winemaking skills, Yuval began studying Enology and Viticulture at Harrisburg Community College. Together, Leli and Yuval made a Cabernet Franc that received noteworthy marks in a blind wine tasting class.
2018
Here We Go
Yuval and Leli purchased a horse farm in the heart of Evansburg Village. They prepared to plant their very own vineyard.
2020

Time to Share

Our 1-acre vineyard hosts 890 Chardonel vines. Chardonel is French-American hybrid varietal that combines the delicate flavors or the old world Chardonnay along with natural resistance to cold climate and indigenous pests conferred by its North American parentage. This allows us to minimize our pesticide use and protect the environment without compromising quality.
As we invite the community into our tasting room, we aim to minimize our footprint. To do so, we use biodegradable tableware and almost all of our clothing merchandise are made with recycled cotton.Â
Â
We partner with Back To Earth Compost to compost all of our food waste and compostable tableware.Â
We are always searching for new ways to support causes that promote a sustainable and regenerative future. Please don’t hesitate to reach out with any ideas for how we can better do so.
Go Local!
We are super excited to be a part of the Collegeville Community.
Below is a list of all of the amazing businesses that have contributed to making Evansburg Vineyards what it is.
