Massachusetts wine refers to wine made from grapes grown in the U.S. state of Massachusetts. Most of the wine grape vineyards and wineries in the Bay State are located in the southern half within the boundaries of its initial American Viticultural Area (AVA) established in 1984, Southeastern New England. Although the coastal conditions moderate the cold climate, many wineries rely upon cold-hardy French hybrid varietals like Seyval, Vidal blanc, and Marechal Foch, Martha's Vineyard AVA, the 1985 sub-appellation of Southeastern New England, also has a milder climate while the much warmer inland region, established in March 2026, Nashoba Valley AVA. Martha's Vineyard island climate is milder, being more strongly influenced by surrounding waters than coastal New England growing Cabernet Sauvignon, Chardonnay, Gewurztraminer, Merlot, Pinot Noir, White Riesling. Nashoba Valley warmer inland climate is suitable for growing varietals such as Albarino, Cabernet Franc, Chardonnay, Riesling, and St. Croix among others.

Bolton Flats Wildlife Management Area
Bolton Flats Wildlife Management Area

Bolton Flats Wildlife Management Area is a 455-acre wildlife management area surrounding the Nashua River and Still River in Massachusetts. The Bolton Flats Wildlife Management Area is located in the towns of Bolton, Lancaster and Harvard, and Route 117 crosses through the area. Bolton Flats is a flood plain that was originally named "Intervale" because it is located in a valley between several hills. Birding, canoeing, fishing, hiking and hunting are popular in the area. Various turtles, including the endangered blanding turtle, and rare nesting birds are found in the habitat, and downstream from Bolton Flats is the Oxbow National Wildlife Refuge and Fort Devens Military Reservation.According to Massachusetts Department of Conservation and Recreation, "[t]he flat lowland between the Nashua River and the Still River is called Bolton Flats and is the result of the receded glacial Lake Nashua. The area is protected by the Commonwealth as the Bolton Flats Wildlife Management Area, which is in Harvard, Bolton and Lancaster. At the Bolton entrance to the Bolton Flats Management Area there is a modest early 20th century cape with a gambrel roof barn, owned by the state." The Still River area contains various Native American objects and was the site of brickmaking from colonial times into the nineteenth century. Several nearby brick houses, including the Haynes House (ca. 1820) at 304 Still River Road, were likely constructed using bricks from the Haynes Brickyard on the Still River.
