Nassau Valley Vineyards was the first winery in the state of Delaware in the United States, and is currently the largest in the state.[1] When jazz singer Peggy Raley decided to open a winery in Delaware, she first had to get the local state legislature to pass a law allowing wineries in the state.[2][3] By 1991 she drafted the necessary legislation, and she obtained a license and opened the vineyard in 1993.[4][5] Until October 2007, when Pizzadili Winery opened,[6] it was the first and only winery in the state.[7][8] There are eight acres of property at the site,[9] and it caters to the beach-bound tourist traffic in the area.[1]
