Reviews for Stonington Vineyards in Stonington, CT
Wonderful outdoor seating. We brought a blanket and picnic basket. We enjoyed two bottles of wine and had the perfect afternoon
Such a beautiful winery. We went on a Tuesday. It was very quiet and perfect for a picnic. Josh and Matthew were great, loved... their personalities lol. Tasting prices was reasonable. Overall wonderful experience. Read more
Beautiful vineyard with a bright tasting room. The team doing the tastings were fun and we had a good time with them.
I was really looking forward to this winery, but unfortunately left disappointed and will not return. Instead of a warm welcome,... staff was rude and uninviting. They were also going to charge $5 extra to drink out of a glass vs. plastic cup. There are manyother great wineries in the area and I would recommend taking your business elsewhere! Read more
Normally a good place to enjoy a CT bottle of wine however after purchasing a bottle at 4::00 pm on a Friday we were harassed by... an over zealous employee that questioned how long we were there, and stated we would have to pay another 24.00 dollars to remainthere on a Friday night due to music? They continued to state " we are going to have to ask you to leave" Apparently they havea " hard close" at 5:00 pm. No one mentioned this to us in the tasting room. Wow! All I can say is that I was shocked ,affronted and appalled by this employee's behavior. We will never return again I had to update my review after reading theowners response. While it is true the employee offered us an option to stay and purchase a ticket her demeanor was rude. Wedecided to finish our glass of wine and leave. Before we got up from where we were sitting the employee again approached us inan agressive manner and screamed, " You need to leave now We need this parking space! There were also people who arrived beforethere was a person at the tent and their parties were not approached. Additionally no one in that tasting room informed us ofthe 5:00pm closing. In this day and age customer service is everything. In this particular day it was lacking. Read more
So it was my 1st time here, my first time at a Vinyard and my first time doing a wine tasting. Nice elegant facility. We were a... small group celebrating a Birthday. We were greeted right away by a friendly and comedic man. After reading the reviews I seenow why he apologized for the outdated kitchen he led us through to get to the back room where we'd have our wine tasting andLOL it was not even that bad sheesh. We tasted 6 wines & bought a few bottles after. They had a live band outside off the patio.Patio area was accessible but seating was not permitted. The view of the vineyard was beautiful although it was fenced off withan electric fence. My only complaint or point of confusion is the group tasting being $22 per person when a bottle is about $20each, almost makes more sense for each of us to just buy a bottle and taste it amongst ourselves? I also expected a little moreformality with info/education about each wine. We did bring our cheese platter as it was encouraged but for some reason Ithought they would have some cheese to offer, for free or purchase but there was none offered to us. They did have lots ofcrackers for sale as well as a little gift shop. Overall it was a nice and enjoyable experience. Read more
Really nice property. great for families and pet friendly. Wine tasting is reasonably priced, tho the pours were slightly... smaller than what we have had in the past and the information on the wine was a bit vague. The four gentlemen operating thevineyard were very friendly and gave our kids freeze pops! Would definitely recommend! Read more
Beautiful winery and staff was super friendly. Wine was good and was able to bring my own lunch which made for a nice afternoon
