Thousand Islands Winery Cold-Hardy grape wines continue to grow in popularity due to their hardy nature and ability to survive in weather conditions that are far from ideal for this crop.
The primary grape varieties being planted in the Thousand Islands Region include Frontenac, Frontenac Gris, Marquette, and La Crescent. The development of these cold-hardy grapes is the very reason we now enjoy the benefits of the ever-expanding Northern New York wine region.
