Wine Tastings

by Gregg on May 13, 09

Most of the wineries in Vermont offer wine tastings. Some are by appointment only. You will find the hosts of these wine tastings to be quite happy to share a story or two while you sample some of their products. A necessary part of living in the State of Vermont is learning how to deal with adversity. And growing grapes and making wine in a state that spends 5 months of the year under snow has it’s challenges! But our wineries make do.

In addition to tasting at the wineries there are other opportunities for tasting wine like packaged tours, food & wine pairing events, festivals and straight up tasting events. Here’s the list we know about.
