A restored stable on an eight-generations-old farm houses the tasting room of this small producer. All wines, including a crisp Vidal Blanc and a well-balanced Meritage red blend, are made from grapes grown and hand-harvested on the property. Tastings are offered most of the year, and outdoor tables overlooking neat rows of vines abound. On Saturday, May–early December, the winery hosts live jazz concerts.
White, rosé, red, and dessert wines are all in the portfolio of this winery founded in 1975, reinvigorated by second owner Carolyn Rafaelian of Alex and Ani jewelry fame, and now the domain of acclaimed local foodies Marissa Stasheko and James Davids, who have substantially upgraded the winery's dining options. If you've ever wondered what a Rhode Island Red (not the chicken!) might taste like, here's your chance to find out. Several of the wines are award winners. In the winery's tasting room you can sample five of them and keep the glass.
