About Connecticut Valley Winery
Connecticut Valley Winery stands as one of Connecticut's most celebrated tasting destinations, welcoming visitors to a converted farmstead with working vineyard views in New Hartford. The winery draws on glacially sculpted hillside vineyards with well-drained loam soils, moderating Long Island Sound influence, and a cool New England growing season to craft wines that reflect a genuine sense of place — from approachable everyday pours to more ambitious bottles that reward patient attention.
The tasting room at Connecticut Valley Winery offers guided flights through the estate portfolio alongside knowledgeable staff, making it a natural stop on any Connecticut winery itinerary. Whether you're a local looking for a weekend escape or a traveler exploring Connecticut wine country for the first time, the team here brings the kind of hands-on knowledge that turns a simple tasting into a genuine education.
Connecticut Valley Winery works with Cayuga White and Seyval Blanc — varietals that have found a real home in Connecticut's cool New England growing season. The result is a portfolio with its own voice: not trying to be Napa or Bordeaux, but doing something authentically of this place and this climate. For visitors seeking that quality, Connecticut Valley Winery delivers consistently.
