Terroir is a tycoon game that takes you from vine to wine

Oct 26, 2017

(Venturebeat) - Lots of folks enjoy a glass of good wine, but Terroir offers another way to appreciate the fruits of labor. It’s a simulation game where you can run your own vineyard. It’s developer General Interactive Co.’s debut, and it’s out now for PC and Mac.

Terroir features charmingly minimalistic graphics and an easygoing soundtrack that lulls you into a false state of relaxation. Running a vineyard is actually quite difficult — it’s expensive and you’re subject to the whimsy of the elements and unforgiving critics.

General Interactive’s creative director Mark Fillon says that he’s always been fascinating by the craftsmanship of winemaking along with the history behind the different varieties and regions.

“After years as a modder and avid video gamer, I decided I wanted to make a video game,” said Fillon in an email to GamesBeat. “I quickly realized there wasn’t a winemaking tycoon video game that was popularly known or in the mainstream. I knew right away that’s what I wanted to do — I wanted to make a video game that put players in charge of their own vineyard.”
