Stappa Vineyard

Stappa Vineyard stands as one of Connecticut's most celebrated tasting destinations, welcoming visitors to a purpose-built tasting room adjacent to estate vines in Connecticut. 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 Stappa 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.

Stappa Vineyard works with Traminette and Riesling — 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, Stappa Vineyard delivers consistently.
