Premier Regions
Mississippi's most celebrated wine regions — the essential destinations for any wine country visit.
About Mississippi Wine Country
Mississippi wine country is the Deep South at its most authentic. Seven estate wineries scattered from the Gulf Coast to the hill country north of Jackson produce wines from Muscadine, Scuppernong, and native American grapes that have grown in these forests for millennia. This is not wine that competes with Burgundy; it is wine that is irreducibly, joyfully itself.
Old South Winery in Natchez, one of the oldest continuously operating wineries in the modern South, embodies the Mississippi wine tradition: unpretentious, hospitable, and deeply connected to the land. The Scuppernong here — golden-bronze, musky, and honeyed — tastes like a Southern afternoon in liquid form.
Along the Gulf Coast, a newer generation of producers is combining wine tourism with the resort infrastructure of Biloxi and Gulfport: tasting rooms within easy reach of casino hotels, Gulf seafood restaurants, and barrier island beach trips. Mississippi wine may never make a Parker 100, but it will make a memorable afternoon.
