The Spirit of Defiance
A revolutionary tasting experience.
Our tasting room, Defiance Hall, is named after Mount Defiance, an 840-foot-high hill on which the British Army wheeled cannons to the top during the Siege of Fort Ticonderoga in 1777.
A restored landmark built in 1820.
Our building was used as a sawmill when a dammed creek formed a pond behind the site. Although many alterations have occurred over the last 200 years, the core remains one of the oldest structures of its kind, as referenced in ‘A Guide to Architecture in the Adirondacks.’
The historic Champlain Valley.
We are based amid the historic allure of two 18th-century British and French-built forts nestled along the scenic shores of Lake Champlain.
