Viticulture in New Hampshire refers to the cultivation of wine in the US state . Bylaw, every state and county is a protected designation of origin and does not needto be recognized as suchby the Bureau of Alcohol, Tobacco, Firearms and Explosives .

Four wineries cultivate the vineyards, the so-called American Viticultural Areas . This means that New Hampshire has one of the smallest vineyards in the United States . Viticulture began in 1994 at the Jewell Towne Vineyards and Flag Hill Winery .

Due to the very cool climate in New Hampshire, there is a significant proportion of French hybrid vines (e.g. Chambourcin , Chancellor ) and autochthonous descendants of American wild vines.
