On Cantillon's official website, the brewery states that "the name Vigneronne Cantillon was given in 1987" with a bottling presumably produced in 1989, though its history dates back much further than that. Jean-Pierre Van Roy first experimented with a white grape lambic in 1973,<ref name="CantillonVigneronne>https://www.cantillon.be/vigneronne-en Cantillon - Vigneronne</ref> as well as a bottled version known as [[Cantillon_Druivenlambik_(Cuvée_Neuf_Nations)|Cuvée Neuf Nations]] in 1987 with lambic brewed in 1985. The label design for both the imported U.S version and the European version of Vigneronne remaining relatively unchanged since its creation by artist Raymond Goffin in 1989.

This beer was previously named Gueuze Vigneronne; however, the word Gueuze was eventually dropped as it is not a blend of 1, 2, and 3-year-old ~~lambic~~.<ref name=Summit11>Dan Shelton, 2010, [[The_Lambic_Summit_2010#Part_11|The Lambic Summit, Part 11 (Shelton Brothers)]]</ref>

In September of 2019 the brewery posted to Facebook that they would be changing the grape varietal from the Muscat varietal to Viognier grapes stating that "because the Muscat grapes used for the Vigneronne were not organic, we decided to move to an organic producer and to use wine grapes instead of table grapes. After some research we couldn't find organic Muscat, but we did find organic Viognier grapes."

The resulting blends will also carry a new label featured below.

There was no Vigneronne produced in the 2021/22 brewing season. According to Jean Van Roy “The transporter who was supposed to drive from the winemaker's premises to the regional depot (less than 100 km) canceled the day before the harvest. By the time another transporter was found, the harvest was over. However, thanks to the unused bins for the Viognier grapes, they were filled with Grenache Noir and Syrah for the new Saint-Lamvinus.”
