Discovering the wine region of Massachusetts

Massachusetts is a NewEngland state, covering 27,300 km² in the northeastern United States. Although Massachusetts is not known as a wine producer, it is home to a dispersed and small-scale wine industry. Wines are produced from cool-ClimateGrape varieties, including Riesling, Chardonnay, Concord, Marechal Foch and Seyval Blanc. Massachusetts borders the states of Connecticut, New Hampshire and Rhode Island.

Most of its vineyards are subject to a maritime climate. The Gulf Stream from the Atlantic Ocean, which brings Warm water from Florida to the East Coast, serves to moderate temperatures in the state, reducing summer and winter weather extremes. Massachusetts is therefore better suited to cool climate vinifera grapes than the more inland New England states. However, the more northern regions of the state produce more cold-hardy Hybrid grape varieties, as well as fruit wines.
