Things to do / Travel Guide
This part of the country knows about food and wine and in the past few years has placed itself on the winery and vineyard map. The wineries in this southern region are mainly grouped in Louisiana's panhandle, east of Baton Rouge and north of New Orleans. There are five significant ones, and they mostly produce Southern wine varieties, such as Muscadine, a hearty variety that is well suited for the humid South. These are good wines, not mass produced, each winery preparing their wares with passion and care.
Visitors to the historic town center of Jackson, Louisiana can tour the Feliciana Cellars Winery and visit the tasting room, located in a Spanish Mission-style building.
For more traditional and better-known varieties, visit the Pontchartrain Vineyards, located north of Lake Ponchartrain, near the Mississippi state line.
