A brief history
Founded in the mid-1970s by J. Richard “Dick” Nissley, Nissley Vineyards was built on the belief that the limestone soils of Lancaster County could produce exceptional wine, helping pioneer Pennsylvania’s modern wine industry. Rooted in generations of winemaking tradition, Nissley Vineyards is guided today by Jonas Nissley’s forward-thinking vision. The winery combines classic craftsmanship with a fresh perspective, producing distinctive Pennsylvania wines that reflect both place and progress. Beyond the bottle, Nissley offers a dynamic setting where wine, events, and community come together.
