Located in Hillsboro, off of Charlestown Pike. Set on a 130-acre farm, the heart of Kalero Vineyard is its historic 2,400 square foot 1834-era Heartstone Barn, named for a heart-shaped stone found on the property by the owners’ twin daughters. The property was purchased in 2015 by Ann Fortin, who has a background in Interior Decorating, after which the old Barn was restored and vineyards planted. The tasting room opened in 2024.
Wine. Tier III. Kalero’s initial offerings include three white wines (a Viognier, a Chardonnay, and a Sauvignon Blanc), a Rosé, and two red wines (a Petit Verdot and a Cabernet Franc). The winery is also offering tastings of some California wines. Setting: The fully restored historic barn, after an extensive renovation, serves as both a tasting room and an event space. Kalero is marketing itself as a wedding destination, so check for closures due to private events.
