Black Bear Winery

Black Bear Winery in Salisbury, New Hampshire brings a 4.5 rating from 8 reviews to a part of the state that doesn't have many wine destinations to choose from. Salisbury is a small rural town in Merrimack County, tucked between the Connecticut River valley and the central New Hampshire highlands, and the winery feels very much at home in that setting. The combination of a tasting room and guided wine tours gives guests more to engage with than a standard pour-and-go experience. For anyone exploring this quieter stretch of the state, it's worth adding to the itinerary.

Black Bear's tasting room offers curated pours that introduce guests to their wine lineup, with staff on hand to answer questions and help you find styles you'll actually enjoy. The wine tour side of the operation takes visitors into the production and growing areas to see firsthand how the winery operates through New Hampshire's demanding seasons. It's the kind of tour that gives context to what you're tasting, which tends to deepen appreciation for the final product. Bottles and take-home options are typically available for wines you connect with during the visit.

Black Bear Winery is located in Salisbury, NH and is accessible to visitors from nearby towns including Boscawen, Webster, Andover, and Franklin. The winery also draws guests traveling along Route 4 or exploring the Merrimack River corridor through central New Hampshire.
