ABOUT US
The Running Brook Story
Think Outside the Barrel
Running Brook Vineyard and Winery was founded in 1998 by Pedro Teixeira. His vision was to produce top-quality wines to make New Englanders proud and satisfy their palates. Since our founding, we have grown & produced our wines in our Dartmouth & Westport vineyards.
Owner and Winemaker
Pedro Teixeira
Dr. Teixeira graduated from The Ohio State University College of Dentistry in 1987. After spending most of his childhood in the Azores, Portugal, and later in California, he caught the grape bug. This condition was exacerbated when he moved to Rhode Island and met his patient, now retired partner, Manuel Morais. They visited many vineyards and wineries and decided to grow Vitis Vinifera grapes and produce premium wines in Southeastern New England.
Manager and Assistant Winemaker
Justin Seney
In 2021, Justin Seney began his career at Running Brook and hasn't looked back since. In 2024, he graduated from the University of Massachusetts, Dartmouth, with a bachelor's degree in Psychology and a minor in business. As a manager, assistant winemaker, and distiller, Seney's passion and dedication to his craft is infectious — as any customer will tell you. Being adopted into the Running Brook family as Dr.Teixeira's "wine son" he is only at the beginning of his long career as a winemaker and leader.
