Summary and Frequenly Asked Questions:
What is it, exactly, that makes a winery great? Is it the quality of the wine itself? The practices used to produce it? Or perhaps it’s the overall atmosphere of the winery itself: the attitude and mission of its workers, and the ambiance it creates for visitors to its vineyards or tasting rooms. Whatever it is, there’s no doubt that the United States has an epic array of wineries within its borders, from the small but vibrant wine region of Upstate New York to the world-renowned Napa Valley, with its perfect weather and climate for grapes. Wine preferences can be extremely personal, and may vary depending on a lot of factors, but the wineries on this list have the quality, conditions, and experience to produce some of the best wines out there.
