Vermont

Vermont, nestled in the picturesque landscapes of New England, is a unique and evolving winegrowing region. Spanning rolling hills, fertile valleys, and the Green Mountains, Vermont's American Viticultural Areas (AVAs) showcase a diverse array of terroirs. The cool, crisp air from Lake Champlain and the surrounding mountains plays a major role in moderating Vermont's vineyards, providing a temperate climate that allows grapes to ripen slowly and develop complex flavors. Cooler-climate grape varieties thrive in these conditions, producing elegant and refined wines, while further inland, vineyards take advantage of slightly warmer microclimates to cultivate heartier, more robust varieties. This variety of conditions enables Vermont to produce a wide range of wine styles, each reflective of the state's unique growing regions.
