Massachusetts

Massachusetts is a unique and emerging winegrowing region in the United States. Nestled along the Atlantic coast and extending into its scenic countryside, Massachusetts' American Viticultural Areas (AVAs) boast a rich variety of terroirs. The cool, sweeping currents of the Atlantic Ocean are crucial in moderating the climate of Massachusetts' vineyards, providing a cooling effect that extends several miles inland. This maritime influence softens the summer heat, enabling grapes to mature at a gradual pace. Vineyards closer to the coast benefit from this cooler climate, perfect for growing delicate, aromatic grape varieties, whereas the slightly warmer inland areas support the cultivation of robust, full-flavored wines.
