Frequently Asked Questions

What makes Montpelier a good home for a Vermont winery?

Is North Branch Vineyards open to walk-in visitors?
It's best to call (802) 229-6169 before visiting, especially since this is a smaller operation that may keep seasonal or appointment-based hours. A quick call ensures you won't make the trip for nothing.
What grape varieties grow well in the Montpelier area?
Central Vermont's climate supports cold-hardy hybrid varietals like Marquette, St. Croix, and La Crescent, which were developed specifically for northern growing conditions. These grapes produce wines that are lighter and more acidic than traditional styles.

Does the winery offer wine education or classes?

How is Vermont wine different from California or European wine?
Vermont wines are made from cold-hardy hybrid grapes or local fruits, giving them a distinct character that's often more acidic and fruit-forward than wines from warmer climates. They reflect a specific place and growing challenge that you don't find in mass-market wine.
