North Andover Board Takes Action On Winery's Proposal

NORTH ANDOVER, MA —Marble Ridge Winery is "significantly expanding" its operations in North Andover, according to a statement from the winery.

The establishment has secured a farmer series pouring license from the town. Marble Ridge is also updating its parking plan and requesting an entertainment license.

"This upgrade from a tasting-only experience marks a major milestone for the boutique Winery, enabling guests to enjoy full glasses of their favorite Marble Ridge wines on-site," according to the statement.

The Planning Board granted final approval for the expanded operations Oct. 7.

“This is a major milestone and we are deeply grateful for the incredible support throughout this process,” owner and winemaker Brig Leland II said in a statement.

Leland added that the winery received community support in the form of over 550 signatures and 150 comments.

"Our goal has always been to make Marble Ridge Winery about more than our wines," Leland said. "For us it’s about community, connection, and shared experiences and this response has shown that in such a powerful way.”

The winery is celebrating the expansion with the release of a new varietal, the 2024 Tempranillo.
