Vermont
is one of the most northerly states in the US, featuring a cooler climate
and shorter growing season than many grape varieties can tolerate.

of grapes that have proven to thrive in Vermont, including the discovery that Riesling grapes from Germany are the perfect match for cooler Vermont summers.
Other wine grapes grown in Vermont include the very hardy Marquette and Frontenac varieties for making reds, as well as LaCrescent (developed in Minnesota) and Traminette grapes for making white wine.
Apples, pears, and
other native fruits also add to the Vermont wine experience ...
