Gwen Davies and her husband Rhys planted their first vines in the Vale of Clwyd in Denbighshire in 2018.
"It's been a real adventure," said Gwen. "I was 40 the year we planted - it was a midlife crisis."
Both from a farming background, they have 8,000 vines suitable for northern climates and are expecting a "bumper crop" after the hot, dry summer.
Dr Kate Gannon, who has researched the impact of climate change on UK wine, said warming temperatures meant Wales had become "more suitable" for wine production, but warned of challenges ahead.
The Welsh wine sector remains small compared to its English neighbour and is made up of micro-producers, but it has been growing rapidly.
The Food Standards Agency Wales said 59 vineyards across the country were registered with them at the end of July.
"Vineyards are cropping up in parts of Wales where there is this micro-climate and we hope to raise awareness of the sector and spark an interest," said Gwen.
She said the relatively cool climate means Vale Vineyard's award-winning wine is "fruit forward" with "lots of different flavours coming out on the palate".
