Picture this: sitting outside with a view of the vineyards in front of you, a glass of wine in hand and an Atlantic breeze in your hair. Does that sound ideal? Look no further than the best wineries in the Northeast. With cooler climates, regional growers tend to specialize in Franco-American hybrid grape varieties such as Seyval, as well as sparkling wine, Chardonnay, Pinot Gris and Pinot Noir. However, the number of vineyards is constantly increasing and the varieties are expanding—today you can even find well-received Merlot and Cabs.
That means whether you're a fan of red, white or bubbly, our list of recommendations for the best wineries in the North East will have something for everyone. Enjoy a trip to one of these spots after an adventure, glamping or settle into a nearby cozy cabin. A day with wine is never wasted.
