Vigneron

A Vigneron is a French term for a winegrower or vintner, someone who cultivates vineyards and produces wine. They are responsible for planting, tending, and harvesting grapes, as well as managing the winemaking process. Vignerons often work closely with the land and have deep knowledge of grape varieties and local terroir (the environmental factors influencing the wine). Their role combines agricultural skills with wine production expertise, and they may own their vineyard or work for a winery. Essentially, Vigneron is a professional dedicated to creating quality wines from grapes they nurture.
