Where vintages originate
Wine country is a region known for grape cultivation and wine production, typically featuring vineyards, wineries, and tasting rooms.
The term evokes rolling hills, scenic landscapes, and tourism centered on sampling local wines: We spent the weekend in wine country.
California's Napa and Sonoma valleys are the archetypal American wine country.
