Discovering the wine region of North Dakota

North Dakota is a state centrally located on the northern border of the United States with Canada. As of 2012, there were no American Viticultural Areas (AVAs) in North Dakota, other than the state's Generic appellation. The state covers just over 180,000 km² (70,000 square miles) between latitudes 45°N and 49°N. Despite this latitude - shared with some of Europe's best wine regions - North Dakota has a tiny wine industry, based on fruit wines and cold-hardy Hybrid varieties like Frontenac, La Crescent and Saint-Croix.

The state's Grape and Wine Association has about 14 wineries and a similar number of wineries. North Dakota's continental Climate is subject to climatic extremes that make most of its mesoclimates unsuitable for large-scale grape growing. The wine industry is growing here, however - albeit slowly - and as of 2011, there were nine wineries and 40 vineyards spread across the state, with a Slight concentration southwest of the city of Fargo. Early settlers found wild grapes growing along North Dakota's rivers, but the state's climate and the passage of Prohibition at the time of statehood in 1889 mean that North Dakota's wine history only dates back to the 1990s.
