Things to do / Travel Guide
Many people are surprised to discover that grapes grow in the New Hampshire and Vermont region. In fact, both Vermont and New Hampshire have made amazing strides in local wine production during the past decade and today there are some very lush vineyards in the region that have been producing wine grapes.
And lest you forget that you are in New England, the winery gift shops will sell you local crafts, and, of course, jugs of maple syrup.
