Click on the regions listed on the right and you will receive a list of the wineries found in each wine region as well as have the opportunity to view a short video clip on the region, peruse a map locating the wineries and check out the calendar of events for this particular region. You'll also learn about each region's specialties and find some general statistics.
If there are one or more "Wine trails" active in the region, we have provided links to their sites as well. Wine trails are groups of wineries that are related geographically and work cooperatively to encourage visitors to learn about the fine products they are bringing to the market. Many of the wine trails have special event programs that feature wine and food pairing events throughout the year. These events are listed along with the winery-specific events in the Calendar of events for the individual regions.
Welcome to Wine Country
10,000 Years Ago ...
Ice Age glaciers sculpted a beautiful land where earth meets water to soften the
air, creating ideal conditions for growing grapes.
400 Years Ago ...
Dutch settlers planted vines on a small island in this new world, followed by Englishmen
on a different island to the east, and French immigrants in a river valley to the
north.
175 Years Ago ...
A winery was established in that valley, followed by others further west in a region
of spectacular lakes.
30 Years Ago ...
The land carved by glaciers had 19 wineries. Today there are over 200.
