Welcome to wine country! Vineyard: A Winemaking Game is a 1-4 player game about making wine in a delightful, sun-washed valley. Move workers through the winemaking steps and choose your upgrades. Become a specialist, find the perfect moments to benefit from the activities around the vineyard, and enjoy a streamlined experience of crafting wine!

The Local News Mini-Expansion adds random events that will keep players on their toes each round. Add 20 cards that bring interesting challenges and bonuses to the vineyard!

Gameplay

Set out on a winemaking journey to create sumptuous wine! Choose how to leave your impression by playing action cards, collectively moving workers to locations around the vineyard, and deciding your unique upgrade path. Will you push your luck to get more done, or focus on building up improvements?

  • Shared Worker Placement allows all players to move every worker, setting up future actions and benefits to try to take at the best time.
  • Quick, Engaging Turns keep gameplay moving for everyone with open information as you maximize your important role in the winemaking process.
  • Unique Location Actions provide ways to gain advantages and leverage other players' decisions or use clever tactics to temporarily block workers.
  • Ongoing Upgrade Choices give you ways to upgrade-as-you-go with unique specialties and improvements to build your own path to victory.

What is Shared Worker Placement? All players at the table are able to play action cards to move the workers around the vineyard. You do not play a specific character, but choose how to best guide all of the workers! There may be turns when you set up an excellent upcoming action... But will you be the first to take advantage of it? Keep an eye on your fellow players and find the best moment to showcase your winemaking expertise!

Riley ★★★★★

The Local News expansion adds just enough variety to keep the 60-minute playtime from feeling stale on repeat sessions. My wife and I have gotten a solid dozen plays out of it already and the winemaking theme actually holds up instead of feeling pasted on.

Benjamin ★★★★★

Played our first 3-player game last night and it took just about the hour listed on the box, which is perfect for a weeknight. The winemaking theme actually comes through in the mechanics instead of feeling pasted on.

Andrew ★★★★★

The Local News mini-expansion adds just the right bit of chaos without overstaying its welcome, and at 60 minutes it fits perfectly into a weeknight. Even playing solo, the winemaking decisions feel meaningful, and the component quality makes every round feel like a proper harvest.
