Imagine sitting by the water with a crisp chardonnay or ice-cold IPA in your hand, blissfully decompressing as waves splash rhythmically against the shore. That is the magic of waterfront wineries and breweries across the Northern U.S. In truth, there aren’t many, which adds to their appeal. From Cape Cod, Massachusetts, to Pacific City, Oregon, here are five spots where the sights and sounds are as enticing as the libations they serve. Please note: The businesses featured are open year-round. Check websites or call ahead for seasonal information and pricing.
