grapery

Enclosed vine cultivation

A grapery is a building or enclosure, typically a greenhouse, designed for growing grapes.

The term dates from an era when wealthy estates maintained specialized structures for cultivating table grapes in climates too cold for outdoor viticulture: The estate's grapery produced fine dessert grapes year-round.
