A winery is a facility where fruit, usually grapes, is processed into wine. Some wineries are located on the same site as the vineyard whose grapes they process, while others process grapes they purchase from vineyards many miles away. Many wineries also give tours and have tasting rooms where customers can sample their wines before they make a purchase.
