Summary
Sweetwater Farm Bed and Breakfast is a tranquil haven situated on fifty acres in the historic Brandywine Valley. Our original Quaker farmhouse dates to 1734, and the Hemphill family added a magnificent Georgian addition in 1815. Sweetwater Farm housed the British after the battle of the Brandywine in 1777, was a safe house for the Underground Railroad, and the farmhouse’s third floor was a Civil War infirmary.
New to Sweetwater Farm is the addition of Grace Winery. Our five acre estate vineyard is just off the Manor House. The name Grace Winery and the dragonfly are a tribute to proprietor Chris Le Vine’s sister Gracie, who owned Sweetwater Farm prior to Chris and his wife Vicki taking over the property in 1999.
The barn originally dates back to the 1750s. It was used as a malting barn to malt barley for distilled spirits, and over the years it was altered many times to be used for livestock, storage and parties. By the mid–2000s it was in disrepair. The renovations began in December 2008 and were completed in April 2010. The back porch is the perfect location to watch the sun sink behind the vineyard while enjoying our first vintage, a delightful 2009 Chardonnay.
