Alabama Wine, in Brief

Alabama wine is built on the muscadine, the thick-skinned native grape that thrives in the state's heat and humidity where European vines struggle. Sweet muscadine and fruit wines still dominate the tasting rooms, but a newer wave of producers in the north of the state is working with hybrids and a few carefully sited vinifera vines.

Most wineries are small, family-run and welcoming, with tasting rooms that double as event spaces. Expect to find scuppernong, blueberry and peach wines alongside the occasional dry red made from Norton or Chambourcin.
