Delaware Wine, in Brief

Delaware has one of the country's smallest wine industries, but what there is sits conveniently close to the beaches of Rehoboth and Lewes, which makes it an easy add-on to a shore holiday.

The producers are boutique operations working with the mid-Atlantic mix of vinifera and hybrids, plus fruit wines and mead.
