MAIN Wines North America USA West Virginia

While most states with warm climates plant the muscadine in their vineyards and see it flourish, West Virginia's climate is too cool for the Southern native grape.

However, varieties of mostly French-American hybrids, as well as the Concord, Niagara and Delaware grape have shown promise throughout West Virginia, where wineries may also specialize in fruit and dessert wines.
