Vineyard

Also known as: wine vineyard, table-grape vineyard

A farm growing grapes — for wine, for table fruit, for juice, or for raisins. Vines are perennial like orchard trees but trained to trellised geometry that organizes the entire visual identity of a vineyard landscape. A vineyard is also a soil/climate document: the specific dirt, slope, and aspect a vine grows on shapes the fruit in ways no other crop expresses as cleanly.

A vineyard is a farm whose primary crop is grapes — Vitis vinifera and its hybrids, plus table-grape and juice-grape cultivars. Vines bear in their third year and remain productive for 25–60 years; the oldest commercial vines in the directory‘s coverage are well over a century.

What the directory tracks here

Wine grapes, table grapes, juice grapes (Concord, Niagara), raisin grapes, ice-wine vineyards, biodynamic vineyards, dry-farmed vineyards, hybrid-grape operations in cold-climate regions.

Cidermaker orchards growing perry pears or heirloom cider apples are filed under orchard, not vineyard, even when the value-add is fermented beverage.
