vinegrower

Cultivates wine grapes

A vinegrower is a person who cultivates grapevines, typically for wine production.

The term emphasizes the agricultural side of winemaking—tending the vines, managing the vineyard—rather than the cellar work of fermenting and bottling: The vinegrowers worried about an early frost.
