A wine lover's road trip from the big cities of New Hampshire to its small-town gems? Sounds like a great way to spend a summer day!

1. Sweet Baby Vineyard (Hampstead)

This humble vineyard looks like a farm on the outside, but it's a hidden gem for wine lovers.

All the wine made here is sourced from New Hampshire produce, including six grapes grown on site. Enjoy a tasting of wine along with a cheese plate!

2. Fulchino Vineyards (Hollis)

There's small batch, and then there's how the Fulchino family handles things. Every step of the wine-making process is done on-site.

You can step in for a reasonably-priced paid tasting, or go shopping in their extensive store.

3. Hermit Woods Winery (Meredith)

Hermit Woods Winery takes local wine seriously, sourcing all their products - including fruit and floral infusions - from nearby farms.

You can step in for a light meal and tasting at their wine bar and cafe, and you'll even get a souvenir glass to take home!

4. Seven Birches Winery (Lincoln)

The Atrium tasting room is a great place to taste two labels of wines produced on-site, along with an inventive selection of infused wines. Pumpkin wine, anyone?

5. White Mountain Winery (North Conway)

A small-batch winery focusing on natural wines, this family-owned shop in the small mountain town of North Conway is a great way to end a wine excursion.

The cute winery dogs are just an added bonus for animal lovers as you shop and sip in the humble shop. A flight tasting is only $15!
