This 35-acre vineyard overlooking Lake Waramaug produces more than 14 varieties of wine—from sparkling to dessert. A weathered red barn houses a gift shop and a tasting room, where knowledgeable staff explain the various wines and wine-making techniques. A wine bar in the hayloft, with views of the lake, serves a fine cheese and pâté board. There's also a picnic area.
The 95-acre parkland surrounding idyllic Lake Waramaug, one of Connecticut's largest and most picturesque natural lakes, is a great place for swimming, boating, fishing, and picnicking. The park has 76 campsites in wooded and open settings (with bathrooms and showers available) that are available from Memorial Day through Labor Day; canoes and kayaks can be rented on-site in summer, too.
