Laughing Crow Winery

Pinot Noir

Ripe juicy reds—raspberries and cherries all in a fuller-bodied fruit-driven wine. It gives the illusion of being sweet on the nose just as much as it give the illusion of being soft and sophisticated yet informally cool.

Akwesasne Riverland White

Our inaugural wine. Our baby. The perfect wine for the new wine enthusiast. Lightly scented berries and with a semi-dry finish. Great anytime for any meal.

Blackberry Bird Dessert

A fun and undeniably sweet wine. Real blackberry flavor with a real kick. After dinner or late in the evening this dessert wine ends the evening on a delightful note.

Laughing Crow was created and is operated locally by Marjorie Skidders and her four children: Nikaiataa, Sawentanon, Teiohontsiakwente and Niiohontaa. The idea to open and operate a winery and vineyard originated from the children’s early years of planting and harvesting large gardens with their Grandmother on Cornwall Island and their Grandfather in Racquette Point. Looking at magazines of gardening and vineyards, the children thought of doing one on their own. It wasn’t until years later, when the four children were old enough to work on the winery and vineyard, that their idea came to fruition. From the choice of grape juice to designing labels, all decisions are made together.

This endeavor would not have been possible without the support and guidance of Ruby Sprowls of the St. Lawrence Chamber of Commerce, Northern Adirondack Trading Cooperative, the Akwesasne Area Management Board, and the community of family members and Akwesasne itself.
