Our winemaking adventure began over 35 years ago with our graduate studies in microbiology and fermentation technologies, planting the seed for a future in crafting wine. For three decades, we dedicated our lives to raising our daughters, Jasmine and Nilofer, now accomplished physicians, while contributing to vaccine development in the pharmaceutical industry. After retiring, we brought our dream to life at our vineyard in Northampton County, where we optimized soil and biodiversity to create the perfect foundation for winemaking. Today, M&M Vineyards offers handcrafted wines, memorable wine tastings, and delicious Indian food, blending passion, craftsmanship, and family traditions into every experience.
Nestled between the rolling hills of the Pocono Mountains and the Delaware Water Gap, M&M Vineyards stands on carefully selected land, chosen after extensive soil and site analysis across Northampton County. Our vineyard's south-facing slopes, enriched with rocky, well-drained soil, weathered shales, balanced micronutrients, and generous mineralogy, create a unique terroir that brings out the finest expression in our wines. With small-batch, handcrafted winemaking practices, we produce captivating wines that embody our passion for quality. Visitors can enjoy unforgettable wine tastings and savor delicious Indian food, making M&M Vineyards a destination that blends craftsmanship, culture, and flavor
We owe a great deal of thanks to all the neighbors, friends, and family who graciously helped us through this arduous process, especially to our good friend Timothy Zamb who worked tirelessly to help us make our dream a reality. Narender Kalyan travelled to the farm to help from New Jersey throughout the year. We have learned so much through this whole process, but the greatest lesson we have learned is the power of community. From planting to bottling, this venture would not have been possible without the support of the gracious local winery owners, the Upper Mount Bethel Township, and our family of neighbors. For all of this, We are truly blessed. This has been a most exciting journey from Pharma to Farmer (#PharmatoFarmer) and we look forward to the path ahead. Thank you for taking the time to read about our family, we look forward to meeting yours in our wine tasting room.
