"How to understand and enjoy the next generation of Fortified Wine"
About Us
Years ago, Valkyrie Crafted Libations Inc. (VCL) Founder Stephen Jeremias attended a performance of Richard Wagner’s Opera“Die Walküre” at the Metropolitan Opera House in New York City. Legend portrays the mythical Valkyrie offering Sacred Mead to their resurrected warrior-elect during the Hero’s journey to Valhalla. In Act III - the classic ‘Ride of The Valkyrie’ depiction - Stephen mused: “What characteristics might this Sacred Mead, this mythical elixir, embody?” Soon thereafter, he began development on what would become today’s Portfolio of Valkyrie Crafted Libations Products.

Pioneers and Producers of The Original Geistwein - exceptional fortified wines. Also offering traditional Finger Lakes appellations.
Seneca Lake, NY – East Side
Goldbaender
Valkyrie Goldbaender™ was inspired by The Spirit and Tradition of the Valkyrie, those fearsome warrior goddesses and immortal soul-shepherds reverently spoken of in ancient Norse mythology. Mounted atop majestic, winged steeds of war, few of Oden’s creations were more imperially terrifying, and certainly none were more beautiful.
Dragonsblut
Valkyrie Dragonsblut™ was inspired by classic Norse tales of Sigurd’s epic quest: “Sigurd then slew the mighty dragon Fafnir. Victoriously sheathing his now sanguine blade, Sigurd fortuitously raised a bloody and scalded finger to his lips. Tasting and then understanding the dragon’s mystical essence, Sigurd was transfigured.
