In 2012, Founder Eric Miller left the company and the winery sold off its vineyards.[4] Though its focus shifted towards sweet wines at the same time, a small amount of dry wine is still produced.

The Chaddsford 2017 Cabernet Franc was selected as a finalist in the 2019 PA Sommelier Judgement Day awards.[5]
