Founded by Steve and Laura Gallagher and Barbara Perrotta of Borella's Farms, Whisper Vineyards traces its roots to 1945, when Joseph Borella began farming the land that now supports the vineyard. The family’s deep connection to agriculture, cultivated through generations of farming potatoes, vegetables, and floriculture, evolved into viticulture after Steve Gallagher’s research into Long Island’s climate and soil conditions led to the planting of the first grapevines in 2004. The winery’s philosophy centers on sustainable practices, respect for the land, and the continuity of family farming traditions. Wines are aged in oak or steel, reflecting the unique character of the region’s soils and weather, and are crafted with the same care applied to the farmstand’s produce for over half a century.
