wineries

Bottled vintage sources

Wineries are establishments where wine is made, from grape processing through fermentation to bottling.

The term often extends to the surrounding property, which may include vineyards, tasting rooms, and tours: We visited three wineries in Napa Valley.

A winery typically produces wine under its own label.
