Massachusetts
Massachusetts is one of the nation’s rising stars in terms of wineries and wine production. There are literally dozens of micro climates in the state, from the mountainous Berkshires to the coastal plains.
With over 20 wineries now operating in Massachusetts, its wine industry is now gaining the attention of the wine press. The state is particularly noted for its rieslings, chardonnays, and pinot gris offerings.
Capitalizing on the traditional pairing of wine and cheese, the Massachusetts Farm Wineries and Growers Association has put together a clever PDF brochure outlining the new Massachusetts Wine and Cheese Trail .
The brochure is divided into six geographical areas, with all of the wineries and cheese producers listed. We applaud Massachusetts for their efforts in this regard and hope other states follow their lead. Agritourism is an important element of vacation planning and combining wineries and cheese producers into a wine trail is a promising concept.
