The most Reverend Bernard McQuaid,  the
first Catholic Bishop of the Diocese of Rochester, founded
the O-Neh-Da Vineyard and wine cellars in 1872 as a
reliable source of quality sacramental wines for area parishes.
Steeped in local lore and history, O-Neh-Da Vineyard is the
second oldest, still operating winery in the now renowned
Finger Lakes region of New York and remains one of the few
sacramental wine suppliers producing its own wines at its
original facility. O-Neh-Da Vineyard is situated above the
pristine western shore of Hemlock Lake in the area now being
called the Little Finger Lakes region. With its fieldstone walls
and vaulted brick ceilings in the cellar, the winery presents an
impressive structure nestled in the verdant Conesus hills. In
keeping with a tradition of over 130 years, O-Neh-Da wines are
produced in full accordance with Canon Law governing valid and
licit matter for Altar wines. |
