MAIN Wines North America USA Wyoming

Wyoming is just a little east of the major western wine regions and a bit too far north for many grape varieties.

Of course those cold winters and hot summers do not translate to a totally wine-less Wyoming.

Advanced growing techniques and grape varieties bred for cold weather are enticing quite a few adventurous Wyoming farmers to turn their attention to grape growing and wine making.

The more hardy wine grape varieties used in Wyoming include Elvira, Frontenac, Frontenac Gris, Marcheal Foch, Marquette, and Valiant. In addition to grapes, honey or raspberries and other fruits are used at Table Mountain Vineyards, pictured here.
