Hunt Country Vineyards, a pioneering winery based in Branchport, will end wine production in 2026 as its next-generation owners shift focus. Co-owners Suzanne Hunt and Matt Kelly discussed the decision on WXXI’s Connections with Evan Dawson last week, citing the physical demands of winemaking and broader succession challenges in the Finger Lakes wine industry.
