Vermont is a small state covering 9600 square miles (25,000 square km) in the far north-eastern corner of the United States. Its limits are formed by the international border with Canada to the north, and the state borders with neighboring New Hampshire and New York to the east and west respectively.
The wine industry in Vermont is very young and still focuses on making wines from fruit other than grapes. The climate here – and the natural leaning towards fruit-based agriculture – has led local winemakers to capitalize on cranberries, raspberries and particularly blueberries. Some grape wines are produced here, but only in very small quantities and using fruit imported from wine regions in New York, California and even Canada.
Vermont's small number of wine-bearing vineyards are planted mostly with Franco-American hybrids such as Cayuga, Seyval Blanc, Leon Millot and Marechal Foch. The state does not include any smaller AVA titles, the nearest being those of New York and Massachusetts.
