🇺🇸 Wineries in United States

What this United States listing covers

This hub lists 132 wineries and tasting rooms across 15 cities in United States, each with an address, published hours where the venue provides them, and a rating drawn from 48,917 public reviews.

Coverage is city-first rather than exhaustive: we index the cities where a specialist wine trade exists at a scale worth mapping, and within those cities we list the venues that publish enough public information to be described honestly. A city missing from the list below is a gap in our coverage, not a claim that it has no wine shops.

When do wineries and tasting rooms in United States open and close?

125 of the 132 wineries and tasting rooms listed in United States publish their opening hours. The median one opens at 12 pm and closes at 7 pm on a typical trading day.

Sunday is the day that catches visitors out: 104 venues in United States (83% of those with published hours) trade on Sunday, against 66 on Monday. 47 open seven days a week.

18 addresses stay open past 10 pm, which matters if you are buying after dinner rather than before it. Vino Divino Winery & School of Wine closes latest, at 12 am.

At the other end of the day, Vino Divino Winery & School of Wine opens earliest, at 12 am.

These hours come from each venue's own Google Business Profile as read in March 2026. They are regular hours: public holidays, August closures and harvest-season changes are not reflected, so call ahead for a specific date.

What the ratings in United States actually say

The 132 rated wineries and tasting rooms in United States carry 48,917 reviews between them. The mean rating is 4.65 out of 5 and the median is 4.7, and 106 venues hold 4.5 or better — 80% of the list.

Austin Detours carries the highest rating with a review base large enough to mean something: 5.0 from 1,252 reviews. Childress Vineyards is the most reviewed address in United States, at 6,380.

A five-star average is worth less than it looks on a venue with a dozen reviews, which is why the ranking above is sorted by rating and review volume together rather than by rating alone. The rating also measures the visit, not the cellar: service, queueing and the state of the room all land in the same number as the wine selection. It is a starting filter, not a verdict on what is on the shelf.

How much do wineries and tasting rooms in United States cost?

Price level is published for 12 of the 132 wineries and tasting rooms in United States, and it splits as follows: 1 budget (8%), 11 moderate (92%). Google's price level is a four-step band reported by the venue and by visitors, not a price list, so it says where an address sits relative to its neighbours rather than what a bottle costs.

The specialisations that recur most often in United States are Tasting Events (23), Wine Cellar (6), Local Wines (2), Rosé (2). Filtering the list above by one of those is usually a faster route to the right shop than sorting by rating.

Bottom line

United States has 132 wineries and tasting rooms on this list, averaging 4.65 out of 5 across 48,917 reviews. The median address opens at 12 pm and closes at 7 pm; 104 of the 125 with published hours open on Sunday.

If you only have time for one stop, Austin Detours is the highest-rated address with a real review base (5.0 from 1,252).

Ratings, hours and price bands here come from public venue profiles read in March 2026; they describe how an address is reviewed, not how good its wine list is. Confirm hours before travelling for a specific bottle.

Winery Culture in United States

The United States' modern winery culture grew from colonial plantings and mission-era vines through a boom in the California Gold Rush, a devastating pause under Prohibition, and a revival led by post-war pioneers and university research hubs like UC Davis. By the late 20th century Napa Valley and Sonoma set benchmarks for estate hospitality and premium Cabernet Sauvignon and Chardonnay, while the Central Valley developed large-scale production. Regional voices — Oregon's Willamette Valley with its cool-climate Pinot Noir, Washington's Columbia Valley with robust Cabernet and Syrah, and New York's Finger Lakes known for Riesling — expand the national palette.

U.S. tasting rooms and city wine bars draw on European models — think structured appellations like Bordeaux, old-vine identity like Rioja, or the slatey acidity prized in Mosel Riesling — but they adapt those ideas to local terroir and direct-to-consumer retail. The three-tier distribution system still shapes which labels reach which states, so many wineries invest heavily in on-site hospitality, allocation lists and members’ programs to build loyal buyers and curate the tasting experience.

Best Cities for Wineries in United States

New York is a city of specialist wine shops, natural-wine bars in Williamsburg and the East Village, and a growing presence of Finger Lakes and Long Island producers on by-the-glass lists; price points vary from $12 glass pours in casual bars to $40–$75 tasting flights at serious urban cellars. Los Angeles balances celebrity-driven wineries and boutique import-centric wine bars in Silver Lake and Downtown, where producers from California and beyond meet Southern California's dining scene.

Chicago's River North and Logan Square neighborhoods host natural and small-production tastings that pair well with Midwest dining; expect $20–$45 for curated flights. In Houston, wine culture centers around Uptown and the Museum District with a mix of boutique shops and high-end restaurant lists focused on California and Texas Hill Country bottles. Phoenix offers desert-friendly tasting rooms and rising interest in Arizona wines alongside approachable price points, while San Diego blends coastal wineries, urban tasting rooms in Little Italy and a strong craft-food pairing culture that favors lighter reds and crisp whites. Each city channels regional wine sources differently, so check neighborhood concentrations and reservation policies before you go.

What Makes United States's Wineries Unique

What sets United States wineries apart is a hybrid of large-scale production infrastructure and experimental, DTC-focused boutique estates. California dominates volume and prestige — think appellations in Napa Valley and old-vine Zinfandel in parts of Sonoma — while states like Oregon, Washington and New York contribute distinct regional signatures. The three-tier distribution system limits cross-state availability, so many producers prioritize tasting rooms, allocation lists and direct shipping. This creates diverse customer-facing experiences: polished château-style hospitality at top Napa houses, intimate cellar-door pours in Willamette, and urban tasting rooms that spotlight natural and experimental wines.

Staff expertise varies from sommelier-led wine bars in New York and Los Angeles to family-run tasting rooms in the Pacific Northwest. Pricing culture is broad — everyday California bottles from $15–30, serious Napa single-vineyard wines from $60 to several hundred dollars — and membership programs are a common way to secure allocation. Look for producers such as Chateau Montelena or Chateau Ste. Michelle as recognizable references, but be prepared to discover region-specific estates that define local styles.

Practical Tips for Visitors

Tasting-room hours commonly run roughly 11:00–17:00, with many wineries requiring reservations for weekend slots and structured tastings; in regions like Napa and Sonoma book at least a week ahead for popular estates. Typical tasting fees range from about $15–50 for standard flights, while reserve or library tastings can go $75–250; fees are often waived with bottle purchases or credited toward a case. Carry a government ID — states enforce minimum drinking age laws strictly — and expect staff to ask.

Ask staff about vineyard practices (organic, sustainable or biodynamic) and what’s included in a flight; if you’re visiting multiple venues, pace yourself and prioritize by appointment. Tipping for tasting-room service is common at pricey or guided experiences (10–20% is appreciated), and remember that interstate shipping varies by state because of regulation and winery licensing. Avoid heavy perfumes in tastings and bring a small notebook or use VinSip notes to track favorites for later purchase or shipping arrangements.
