Why is it feminine?

Vignes is feminine because it derives from the Latin "vinea," which was feminine in gender, and French inherited this grammatical gender along with the word itself. The Latin term likely originally meant "vineyard" or "place of vines" (from "vinum," wine), and feminine nouns ending in "-a" in Latin typically became feminine nouns ending in "-e" in French.
