About Stonington Vineyards
Stonington Vineyards has earned its reputation as a reliable highlight on any wine itinerary in New London County / Mystic Country — Connecticut's most scenic wine destination. Set in Stonington, the winery combines estate-grown character with a visitor experience that makes wine approachable for newcomers and satisfying for serious tasters.
The wines lean on Cabernet Franc and Chardonnay — a smart choice given Connecticut's cool New England growing season. In the glass, these varietals deliver balanced fruit, genuine structure, and finishing freshness, the kind of quality that has helped Connecticut wineries build a following well beyond state lines.
Visiting Stonington Vineyards means spending time with a team that genuinely cares about what's in the bottle and who's tasting it. The tasting room offers a relaxed walk-up tasting bar and a curated selection of current releases, and the property itself — a purpose-built tasting room adjacent to estate vines — provides the setting that makes a wine-country day trip feel worthwhile.
