Vintner's Contract: Griffin-in-the-Vines is a secondary quest in the Blood and Wine expansion. While the quest title might suggest that a griffin needs to be dealt with, the monster in the cave is in fact a shaelmaar.

Journal entry[ | ]

While roaming the slopes of Mount Gorgon, Geralt ran into a vintner who required a witcher's aid.
Our hero plunged into the depths of the cave, which proved to be a shaelmaar's lair. Geralt slew the beast, a feat for which a reward awaited.
Pleased, the vintner was generous, and our hard-working witcher, richer by a few crowns, went on his way.

Walkthrough[ | ]

  • Clear the cave of monsters. (44 XP earned based on the Story and Swords! difficulty level killing shaelmaar)
  • Return to the contract giver. (150 XP earned based on the Story and Swords! difficulty level, 200 crown(s))
