A daily indulgence for some, and an occasional treat for others, the rich aromatic pleasures of wine have made it into the hearts of connoisseurs around the globe. For many people, wine is the center of happiness — and serves as the perfect ending to a long day. Not to mention, its variety of flavors makes it easy to get a little something for everyone.

Our New England vineyard has been Connecticut’s leading winery and attracts people of all ages to our location. At Jonathan Edwards Winery, our unique bi-coastal approach to wine-making has allowed us to craft premium wine for all to enjoy. We are passionate about wine and even more passionate about sharing it with others.

Stonington Vineyards offers wine tastings daily, and year-round from 11 AM – 4:30 PM. The vineyard closes for Easter Sunday, Thanksgiving, Christmas Day, Boxing Day (12/26), and New Year’s Day. We are open 11 AM – 2 PM on Christmas Eve and New Year’s Eve. Otherwise, we are open daily and year-round for all your wine drinking needs! Connecticut boasts more than 40 licensed wineries in our state. Thank you for your continued support for all of our wineries and vineyards. Focused on marketing and education, the Connecticut Farm Wine Development Council uses Community Investment Act funding each year to foster growth of the farm winery industry in our state.

Wine Tastings & Tours

Just like a fine glass of wine, knowledge gets better with time — so sip your way through our guided wine tasting to learn about our vineyard. Our tour takes you into the vines with a visit to our tank and barrel rooms. With the wine industry constantly evolving, it can be difficult to discern which body of wine you’ll indulge in next. Now that you’ve experienced a number of palatable flavors, you can purchase your favorites right here at the winery. Wine enthusiasts find our tasting tours refreshing, and those just entering the world of fine wine also benefit from the knowledge and social experience of our detailed tours.

To combine two of life’s greatest culinary pleasures — wine and cheese — we procure local artisan products to amplify your wine tasting experience. We offer a substantial selection of cheese and charcuterie, crackers, elevated non-alcoholic beverages, and much more!

Vineyard Events

Every event is enhanced by delectable food and drinks, good music, mingling guests, and a captivating venue.
