winery
Vintage production facility
A winery is an establishment where wine is made, from crushing grapes through fermentation to bottling.
The term covers operations of all scales, from small family vineyards to industrial facilities.
Wineries often include tasting rooms where visitors can sample wines: We visited three wineries in Napa Valley.
