Mandeville Vineyards

Painting by Agata Zaborowski women enjoying wine

Larry Gilman is the hands-on owner and farmer of MANDEVILLE VINEYARDS. Larry had a vision for the vineyard when the location of his future vineyard was impassible, and almost impossible to get uphill behind the family house.
Larry is an actor and director and has won awards for directing THE ZOO STORY, with Woody Harrelson.

He has performed and directed in NY, and LA, and has been on Broadway, Off-Broadway, regional theater, television and movies. It is fair to say Larry is a  busy man. Yet Larry has a passion for life and to be in his life, rather than watching it simply passing him by. With no guarantee of success to follow his passion, Larry and his family have set off to make the best wine, with the most hands-on, and the best grapes, that the climate and soil will allow.
