History

Viticulture in Vermont began on a small scale in the 19th century, primarily with native vines and hybrids. National Prohibition (1920-1933) brought viticulture to an almost complete standstill. Modern viticulture developed from the 1990s onwards with the cultivation of new, extremely frost-hardy varieties, including many breeds by US vine breeder Elmer Swenson (1913-2004) and universities in the upper Midwest. The founding of Snow Farm Vineyard & Winery in 1997 is considered the beginning of modern viticulture.
