About Stonington Vineyards
Stonington is a southeastern-shore original: founded in 1986 near the borough's maritime lanes, the estate helped anchor the Connecticut Wine Trail's coastal end with barrel-fermented Chardonnay and shoreline-grown whites poured in a relaxed vineyard-view room.
Nearly four decades on, it remains the classic pairing with a Mystic-and-Stonington day. Old-guard coastal Connecticut in a glass.
