About Kingdom of the Hawk Vineyard
Kingdom of the Hawk Vineyard stands as one of Connecticut's most well-regarded tasting destinations, welcoming visitors to a contemporary tasting facility set within an active vineyard in North Stonington. 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 Kingdom of the Hawk Vineyard offers estate tastings by appointment and weekend walk-in flights, 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.
Kingdom of the Hawk Vineyard works with Connecticut-hardy hybrids and European vinifera — 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, Kingdom of the Hawk Vineyard delivers consistently.
