A wine estate is a property dedicated to the production of wine, typically featuring vineyards where grapes are grown. These estates often include facilities for wine production, such as fermentation tanks and aging cellars. Many wine estates also have tasting rooms where visitors can sample and purchase wines directly from the source. Wine estates can vary in size and style, ranging from small family-run operations to large commercial wineries. They are often located in regions known for their grape varieties and wine production, such as Napa Valley in the United States or Bordeaux in France.
