Tyler Mackelvey | Winegrower

Tyler Mackelvey has a degree in Biotechnology, and his passion for chemistry drove him towards the wine industry. He began his career at Jewell Towne Vineyards in 2015- a small operation in coastal NH- where he was mentored by Peter Oldak (a pioneer in Hybrid grape growing). Eventually Tyler became the winemaker for Jewell Towne, and by this time he had fully fallen in love with the diversity of skills needed to succeed in both the winery and vineyard. Diving into tractor maintenance, cellar intricacies, and countless hours of dedication to the vines it was clear to him that this was a blooming life long passion. Tyler transitioned to Shelburne Vineyards (spring '17) where he feels blessed to work with individuals whom constant curiosity, pursuit of knowledge, and hard work have made Shelburne Vineyard a perfect fit.
