Wine aficionados, connoisseurs, and
oenophiles alike will be delighted to know that the Massachusetts Wine and Cheese Trail has
officially expanded, now boasting 29 wineries and 18 cheese businesses from the
dunes of Cape Cod to the hills of the Berkshires!
A wine and cheese trail in Massachusetts? That’s right, the Bay
State features 40 licensed wineries, producing wine from a collection of
locally grown fruits – grapes, apples, cranberries, peaches, and blueberries –
across, roughly, a total of 2,200-acres of wine farm land, where 439 acres are
devoted exclusively to wine production.
So, with these award-winning wines
and notable cheeses, how does one embark on all that the Wine and Cheese Trail
has to offer?
Well, it starts with the trail map, where you can discover wine and
cheese makers by region, within a detailed, useful, road-trip-inspiring layout
of the state. Ultimately, encouraging visitors – in-state and out-of-state – to
learn about the art of wine and cheese making; to discover some of
Massachusetts’ award-winning tastes; and to explore the bucolic, picturesque
farmlands that our wonderful state has to offer.
Here’s a
list of the recent additions, which include nine wineries and seven farmstead
cheese producers:
