Do not include a subject statement. The Vineyard Suitability Maps were developed as part of a three-part program, initiated in 1996, to make grape growing opportunities more widely visible and understood by Virginia residents. The other two components were the revision of our vineyard economics publication, and the hiring of a Viticulture Extension Assistant to specifically assist new and interested grape producers. The mapping project and the Extension Assistant position were generously funded by the Virginia Winegrowers Advisory Board. The original idea for the vineyard suitability maps was to provide a graphic representation of where good to excellent potential vineyard property existed on a county by county basis.
