Vineyard vs. Winery

This weekend, as I continued my trek through the wilderness, I was engaged in a conversation by an interesting gentleman over a glass of Northpoint Red. During the conversation, I clumsily confused wineries and vineyards. #

So, for those of you that haven’t yet had the opportunity to conversate with a fine Italian over a full-bodied glass of wine, here’s your saving grace. #

What is the difference between a vineyard and a winery? Simple. A vineyard is an area of land used to grow grapes; a winery is where the wine is produced. This could be a building or a business. #
