Exclusive Wine Tours in Boston
Did you know there are 20 active wineries in Massachusetts?
And did you know that one of these wineries produces some of the best Champagne style sparkling wines on the East coast of the United States?
If you mention wine in the USA, what usually comes to mind is the Napa valley, Pinot Noir from Washington State and the Finger Lakes of New York state. But Massachusetts? No, it’s not synonymous with wine production - it only has a few orchards, too much snow and freezing winter temperatures so it lacks the right attributes to produce decent wine. Right?
Wrong. Massachusetts has long been overlooked as a successful wine producing region that can rival its local or foreign neighbors, despite its small size and varied climate.
