And this folks, is where it all starts. Take a look at Fresh Tracks Farm's first acres of vineyard circa 2003. 

Vermont generally conjures images of cows, barns, and foliage. We're proud to add vineyards to that list. Vineyard site in Berlin, VT at Fresh Tracks Farm. Photo credit: Jennifer Langille

This is the view from the upper vineyard at Fresh Tracks Farm during harvest time. It sure is beautiful here.

Wine doesn't have to be made just from grapes. Try cassis! It's made from Black Currants!

All in a day's work.... Many Vermont Wineries oak-age their wines. It's a long process but almost worth the wait. Sara Granstrom at Lincoln Peak Vineyards

Have you tried Ice Wine yet? Ice Wines are carefully crafted from grapes that have been left on the vine well into the winter - until they've reached 16F in fact. From these frozen grapes we make delicious dessert wines that can only be made in Northern Climates such as ours. You've got to have a hardy crew in addition to hardy grapes in these parts.

Not sure about Vermont Wines? Then try before you buy! Many wineries have tasting rooms that are open for wine tastings. And no need to be intimidated - ask all of your burning questions! [Brett Martin, Fresh Tracks Farm]

Vermont has a wonderful array of rosé's. If you have pre-conceived notions about what rosé's taste like, we implore you to try some from Vermont. You might find something delightfully different! Pictured here is Heartwood - a marquette rosé by Lincoln Peak.
