Wineries & Meaderies

Connecticut's Wineries and Meaderies Skip down to The Meaderies & Wine-like Cideries The Connecticut Wine Trail has been a state sponsored thing for almost as long as CTMQ has been a thing. This has been very good for the state's wineries, as they've had a passport program (with incredible prizes) for many years … [Read more...]

Brignole Vineyards

!!!! Brignole Vineyards, East Granby May, 2019 Brignole Vineyards is very excited. And they have reason to be; while relatively new to the local winery scene, Brignole immediately vaulted to being one of the most exciting to visit if only for their beautiful building alone. I suppose when you're located on the … [Read more...]

Chateau Le’ Gari’

Laissez Le Mauvais Temps Rouler Chateau Le' Gari', Marlborough July, 2019 Let’s start with the name of this winery and event space in Marlborough. “Chateau Le’ Gari’.” I’m missing something. Chateau implies a bit of a more stately structure than what I found in Marlborough, and Le’ doesn’t really mean anything … [Read more...]

Heartstone Farm & Winery

Stone Cold Good Heartstone Farm & Winery, Columbia September 8, 2019 While the Connecticut brewery industry has been exploding over the past four years, our wineries have also been quietly enjoying an expansion as well.

Nordic Moon Meadery

Pretty Lo Ki Nordic Moon Meadery, Ellington April 2019 What you're reading right now is a placeholder of sorts. As I write this in August 2019, Nordic Moon's tasting room is not yet open. I don't know when it will be open. It might be open when you're reading this... or maybe it never opened. If and when it does … [Read more...]

Arrowhead Acres Winery

A Chief New Winery Arrowhead Acres Winery, Franklin July 2019 During my five year hiatus from checking out Connecticut wineries, a bunch of new ones opened. At the end of 2014, I had "caught up" and had “completed” the list; having been to every open winery in the state and written about them all. It felt good. … [Read more...]

Joseph Preli Farm & Winery

You Say Tomato, I Say Don’t Make Tomato Wine Joseph Preli Farm & Winery, Glastonbury July 2019 Ugh. Here we are again. In that awkward place.

O Little Town of Bethlehem Bethlehem Vineyard November 1, 2014 Yes! My 35th – and last! – Connecticut winery! Why, I ought to celebrate with some wine, don’t you think?

Preston Ridge Winery

Stompton, Smashton, Preston Preston Ridge Winery, Preston September 28, 2014 We had tried to visit this winery a few times since it opened only to be stymied by a wedding. This place was built as much for weddings as for wine tastings and such. Which is great for them, and since they were new to the Connecticut … [Read more...]
