NURSERY
Since 1979, Hermann J. Wiemer Nursery has been a leading supplier of quality grafted grapevines for the Finger Lakes, California and other major wine regions. Our practices of selecting budwood and rootstock material have helped us guarantee the highest quality grafted plants available.
Hermann's family has been in the grafting business since early 1900's when his father headed up the agricultural experiment station in Mosel Germany. Since vinifera plant material was not available on a commercial basis when Hermann started experimenting with Riesling in New York, Hermann decided to establish a nursery to prepare the stock using his grafting technique and technical knowledge from his early years in Germany. He obtained his initial bud stock from Cornell University's Geneva Experiment Station and grafted it onto American rootstock.
Hermann J. Wiemer Vineyard continues to seek out new ideas and practices to improve the quality of our grafted vines and vineyards. Through careful selection of material and bud wood from our own vineyards, we produce the highest quality, disease free grafted grapevines available in the market.
Grafted Plants Available
As demand for Wiemer's hand grafted quality vinifera vines has grown, the nursery has developed into a commercial business. Today we graft up to 500,000 vines for distribution throughout the country.
