Glacial Till Vineyard & Winery, Ashland

Named for the terroir in which its grapes flourish, Glacial Till Vineyard's rocky mineral-rich soil is home to nine varieties of French-American red and white grapes that grow ripe on the vine across gently sloping hills. Those grapes are crushed, pressed, and eventually transformed into handcrafted wines, including a smooth and dry Chambourcin; the semisweet and fruity Edelweiss; and the bright, springy Frontenac Rose. The vineyard also offers a variety of handcrafted hard ciders and, at the beautiful off-site tasting room, visitors can take a seat at a café table or along the bar to enjoy sips of all of Glacial Till's offerings.
