MAIN Wines North America USA Vermont

Vermont is one of the most northerly states in the US, with a cooler climate and shorter growing season than many grape varieties can tolerate, but the innovative New England vintners have come up with varieties of grapes that thrive.

Apples and other native fruits also add to the Vermont wine experience...
