Welcome to Wine Country
10,000 Years Ago ...
Ice Age glaciers sculpted a beautiful land where earth meets water to soften the air, creating ideal conditions for growing grapes.
400 Years Ago ...
Dutch settlers planted vines on a small island in this new world, followed by Englishmen on a different island to the east, and French immigrants in a river valley to the north.
175 Years Ago ...
A winery was established in that valley, followed by others further west in a region of spectacular lakes.
30 Years Ago ...
The land carved by glaciers had 19 wineries. Today there are over 200.
Welcome to the new world of world-class wines ...
