    For the church movement, see Vineyard Movement.''For the suburb in Sydney, Australia, see Vineyard, New South Wales.'' A vineyard (''vignoble'' in French languageFrench, ''vigna'' or ''vigneto'' in Italian languageItalian, ''vinha'' in Portuguese languagePortuguese, ''viña'' or ''viñedo'' in Spanish languageSpanish, ''Weinberg'' in German languageGerman) is a place where grapes are grown for making wine, raisins, or table grapes.Vineyards are often on hillsides and on soil of marginal value to other plants. This is most often in an attempt to maximize the amount of sun that falls on the region, therefore some of the best wines come on quite steep hills, conditions which would make most other agricultural products uneconomic.A stereotypical ideal vineyard site for wine grapes (in the Northern hemisphere) is a hillside in a dry climate with a southern exposure (to maximize the sun that falls on the grapes), good drainage (to reduce uneccesary water uptake into the grapes), and good pruning (to force the vine to put all its energy into the fruit rather than foliage).
