Did you know?

• Delaware is one of the smallest wine-producing states in the U.S.
• Delaware’s humid coastal climate makes it well-suited for hardy hybrid grape varieties like Chambourcin, Vidal Blanc, and Traminette.
• The Delaware Bay and Atlantic Ocean help moderate temperatures, protecting vines from extreme weather.
• The Delaware grape is a light red hybrid grape often used in sparkling and dessert wines.
  • Despite the name, the grape was actually discovered in Ohio in the 1800s – but it’s still grown in Delaware and appreciated for its fruity, floral qualities.
