I am so glad we came back to check this winery out this summer! The wines were fantastic! I especially loved the new tasting with the Seasonal Wines! Pear, Apple-Raspberry, and Peach! They were all SO delicious!! I didn't love the Rhubarb, but my husband did!

We ended up taking home a bottle of Plum & a bottle of Peach! Looking forward to opening those!!

This isn’t ‘wine’, it’s fermented fruit juice - apple, pear, berry, etc. it’s all sweet and pretty ’not’ wine! If you like real wine, this is not the place to go.

Out for a day in East Haddam? On your way to Gillette castle? This winery is a great little stop off. And you can take some to go for your hike. The views of the following amazing. The wine is decent for a Connecticut wine. If you’re up to something else in town this is definitely a place to stop.

As travelers on the Connecticut Wine Trail, we have come to have certain expectations as to what will be offered in a wine tasting. The number one expectation is wine made from grapes. This farm makes wine from apples and other fruits, but not grapes. If you like syrupy sweet drinks, this if for you.
I guess that they technically make wine. But the Wine Trial book should tell members that they will get fruit wines, not grape wines.
This is also not a very scenic spot
