What does Genesis say Noah planted after the Flood?

Genesis says Noah planted a vineyard after the Flood.

Genesis 9:20 describes Noah as a man of the soil who planted a vineyard. The episode follows the Ark narrative and the covenant in Genesis 9. Noah later drank wine made from the vineyard and became drunk, leading to the account involving his sons and the covering of Noah’s nakedness.

This vineyard detail is separate from the olive leaf brought by the dove. The dove’s leaf in Genesis 8 indicates that vegetation was available as the waters receded, but it does not say that Noah planted an olive grove. The text specifically identifies the later crop as a vineyard.

The episode also marks a transition from survival during the Flood to ordinary post-Flood life and agriculture. Genesis presents Noah not only as the Ark’s builder but also as a farmer. Later biblical references to vineyards and wine draw on a broader ancient Near Eastern agricultural setting, but this particular planting belongs to Noah’s post-Flood story.
