Antiquum Farm Wine Dinner

Antiquum Farm Wine Dinner Stephen Hagan Returns Wednesday, Oct 30 at 7PM  I am not a landowner overseeing the operations of a vineyard.  I am the operations...and a part of Antiquum Farm. --Stephen Hagan

The Hagan family at Antiquum Farm does things a little differently...well, a LOT differently. The pictures above accurately represent how they run their farm (and their lives). Their wines (especially their pinot noir) have become favorites on our list all year round. They are extraordinary. The Hagans planted every single vine on their property...by hand...themselves. They run a farming operation that is unbelievable in its integrity. They use horses for 90% of the work and they manage the soil with a collection of sheep, dogs, chickens and geese, sourcing all fertilizer from the property. They founded Antiquum Farm out of a desire to rear their children in a similar way to Stephen’s childhood. Their children, Daisy and Juel, are actively engaged in the growing and making of Antiquum Farm wines. Daisy is a competent horsewoman and responsible for all daily care of their equine partners and the poultry flock. Throughout the growing season she scouts the vineyard on horseback almost daily. Juel is keenly interested in shepherding, wine growing/making, and cooking. He has a pretty decent palate for an 11 year old. He is competent with much of the farm equipment and takes part in blending trials for the wines. I was barely managing my paper route at twelve. The Hagans and the wines are fantastic. Come meet Stephen and let's drink the new vintage of their wines together.   [email protected] or 732-828-4444
