NH Wine & Cheese and Chocolate & Martini Tours. Although New Hampshire is far from Napa Valley, our state offers a unique experience to visit boutique wineries and tour family farms that produce delectable cheese. Visitors could savor the experience over a week-long “road trip” or just spend a day exploring the different wineries and dairy farms in one area of the state. Here’s a sampling of what New Hampshire has to offer:

• Near Seacoast – The largest and oldest wineries in the state are located near the coast, where grapes thrive from the milder temperatures and longer growing season
o Candia Vineyards, Candia – One of New England’s most-awarded boutique vineyards
o Zorvino Vineyards, Sandown – Wine made here from grapes grown on 80 acres of land
o Jewell Towne Vineyards, South Hampton – On the shores of the scenic Powow River

• Valley Vineyards, Orchards & Dairies – Moving up and down the western border of the state, visitors can feel the history, rich agricultural traditions and striking beauty of the Connecticut River Valley
o Boggy Meadow Cheese Plant, Walpole (Monadnock Region) – Where they transform raw milk from a dairy herd of Holsteins into sumptuous cheese from old Alpine recipes
o Silver Mountain Farms, Lempster (Dartmouth-Lake Sunapee Region) – They make traditional hard cider and all-natural fruit wines; open year-round for tours & tastings
o Landaff Creamery, Landaff (White Mountains) – Small, unique farmstead cheese creamery producing Landaff Cheese from a traditional Welsh recipe
