Massachusetts might not be the first place you think of for wine, but I’ve found it to be full of surprises—especially in the southern part of the state. If you’re up for exploring, I think you’ll love the wineries tucked within the beautiful Southeastern New England AVA. Even with the cold weather and short growing season, these vineyards have been thriving for centuries—seriously, the history goes all the way back to the pilgrim days.

Some of my personal favorites are located in the Martha’s Vineyard AVA. I’ve always had great experiences there—friendly staff, lovely wines, and views that make you want to linger a little longer. You’ll find public tastings at most places, and if you’re curious like I am, you’ll really enjoy the complimentary vineyard tours. Watching the harvesting and production in action adds a whole new appreciation to every sip. Trust me, it’s worth the trip.
