winery and Vineyard explained

You’re wondering: how is a vineyard different than a winery? We’re glad you asked.

A vineyard is an area of land equipped for the cultivation of wine grapes.

A winery is the establishment at which wine is made. Wineries will typically house winemaking equipment and, in some instances, some may house bottling lines, warehouses and tanks. In many occasions, wineries also operate adjacent vineyards.

The diverse grape growing and wine making industry in Illinois incorporates both wineries and vineyards.
