    Gorgeous sunset photos with family and friends

    Absolutely beautiful wedding this weekend; the wedding planner Tricia was wonderful. Couldn't have asked for a prettier reception. The owners were also very lovely. My family loved the winery and will definitely be going back! Don't have the pictures back from the photographer yet but I know they will be stunning! Great location and venue. -will try to remember to add a sunset photo of us once they are back!

    This will be interesting to see in a few years. Right now it looks a bit fabricated, almost like a movie set and I feel it's because it is brand new. It's a beautiful barn and view, but it hasn't developed a personality yet you may see in an older winery. The bottles, however, I find beautiful and it almost made me wish I drank red wine. There is also rumor of a wine dog that makes occasional appearances. I did try a glass of white, and it was dry as advertised. Not my particular cup of tea but for someone who does enjoy dry whites, this may be a good place to stop for a glass!

    I absolutely love this winery! They have beautiful outdoor seating but also plenty of indoor tables. Their wines are well made and with grapes grown in the US and not just CT. The prices are reasonable and overall a great spot.

    Edge of the patio, overlooking the young grapes. Eight acres of vineyard used for Heartstone's estate wines are up in the hills.

    I'm giving it five stars, despite the fact that the building -- a beautiful new all wood barn-type structure, with soaring ceilings, arched windows, a big stone fireplace -- is still partially under construction. Not actively, not workmen and tools and stuff, but there is a big expanse of what appears to be a yet-to-be-completed dining/sitting area, behind a half-wall lined with windows adjacent to the current tasting room. I didn't get the full story from the proprietor, but apparently something to do with the permitting at this point. A big mezzanine overlooks, and it appears that it will be truly beautiful when finished. I couldn't take my eyes of the quality of the woodwork throughout the place. But I'm getting off track. This is a winery after all. The barn/tasting room is barely visible from the road, just the peak of the roof showing over the rolling field in front. A small vineyard grows alongside a lovely patio area -- I suggest a sunset visit -- but it is obviously too immature and small to be responsible for the "estate" wines being served. That's when we were told that the main eight-acre vineyard is atop the hill behind the place. The owners have waited years for the vines to be ready, and they certainly don't disappoint. The tasting we shared consisted of a few reds and a couple of whites (one of the whites was not from their own grapes) and included a Heartstone wine glass. I didn't take notes, but except for one red which we found to be a bit overly sweet, each tasting was very, very good. For such a new winery to have such good product right out of the starting gate is truly impressive. The ample patio area didn't have umbrellas over the tables, but that wasn't a problem during our fall/sunset visit. Shade will probably be required when the weather warms up again. There are also quite a few tables inside, by the fireplace, but the big open room, with lots of windows and a big patio door, made the space feel all as one. Say hello to the house dog, who also happens to be featured on a few of the wine labels. He's a friendly guy, and may come up to greet you when you arrive. All in all, we had a very pleasant experience at this brand new winery. If there is any down side, it is that the place is only a few miles down the road from our home...could be trouble! ;) The proprietors were very friendly and happy to talk about the history of the place, and seemed quite knowledgeable about what they were serving. We were told they'll close for the season sometime in November, so if you're reading this first review I highly recommend a trip to Heartstone to enjoy the beautiful fall foliage and some very nice wines. And you can purchase bottles to take home. Wishing much success to this great addition to our town!

    Nice winery that didn't disappoint, this will be a popular stop for anyone that enjoys good wine. Beautiful main building/tasting room. I enjoyed all of their wines whites to reds, most of all we enjoyed a bottle of their traminette which was a great gewuztraminer!

    Stopped in here after hearing about them from the CT wine passport trail. They have a beautiful building and outdoor patio. The bar and seating area inside are a bit small, there weren't that many of us there but it seemed crowded since we were all in one corner. At the time of our visit, they had 7 wines (3 white, 3 red, and one rose). They have a wide range of tastes, so almost anyone should be able to find something they like.

    Had a tasting by one of the owners. She went into detail of each wine and the grape that I tasted. I fell in love with several of the wines but decided to only buy two bottles so I would come back and buy more. It's a small place but you won't be disappointed if you drive out for a tasting.

    Although I wasn't a fan of the Pinot Noir, the Brianna (white) and the Frontenac (Red) were exceptional.

    Really great little winery in Lebanon. We decided to visit some of the wineries that aren't…read morepublicized as part of the CT Wine Trail, on our way to Buttonwood Farm to see the sunflowers.. Lebanon Green Vineyards was our second stop of the day and my favorite. They have a great grassy area with several tables, all of which had umbrellas which is nice, as I'd always like the option of having shade, especially on the hot days we've had this summer. They also had live music just starting as we arrived. We ordered a bottle of Wayland Rose, some Cato Corner cheese, and some wine crackers. They brought everything to our table for us. A nice chilled bottle of wine, in a chiller bucket, the cheese came with a cutting board, a sharp knife, and some napkins. Most wineries just hand you the cheese and a plastic knife if you're lucky. The hospitality at Lebanon Green Vineyards was amazing, I appreciate all the little touches that make it such a nice overall experience. When we didn't finish our bottle, they brought a stopper over for us, and brought our bill right to our table. We didn't have a lot of time to spend there the day we went, but I am looking forward to going there again as a destination and spending the afternoon there. It seems like they have music pretty regularly on the weekends. You can bring your own food with you as well.

Yes, a random…read morepopcorn machine is not traditional farm machinery, but it looks like a house that became a winery and if not for the sign and other cars parked, I may have had an anxiety attack. The tasting room is rather small on the back-right of the property, and lots of tables with umbrellas outside to sit and enjoy the music and/or talk with your friends. I tried the shot and scoop (a cup of ice cream with their blueberry dessert wine), which had a choice of chocolate and vanilla ice cream. A word of caution - stir your ice cream before they pour, otherwise it will overflow the cup. It was delicious though, even on a cold day. The only downside was the baristas are all over you. We were asked at least five times if we were there for a tasting or a glass before we had a chance to really absorb the menu. We chose to sit as far from the tasting room as possible so we could chat and enjoy our glass (and please keep in mind, there were may three other tables with people so it's not like space was at a premium) and they came over 2-3 times to see if there was anything else we wanted to order. The tight polite smile and declining their assistance was not sufficient to deter their intrusions. They were nice, please don't miss understand, just persistent with a force you normally see of people working on commission, and hey, maybe they were. I would definitely come back because the wine was good and it's a pretty location, but I'd be prepared with a more authoritative "No, I will come to you when I want to order more".

They have tables to sit and drink wine or have lunch, and a flock of very cute fluffy chickens that scatter around. Some families were there and they had ordered a pizza to be delivered there and were drinking a few bottles of wine. We opted to try the 7 wines for $12.00 tasting. The woman doing the tasting was very detailed about the wines and we really enjoyed listening and asking questions. We enjoyed all the white wines with the Cayuga White being our favorite, so we got a bottle of that to take home. I also enjoyed the reds and the rose. The owner was very friendly and loved chatting when we asked about the huge unusual tree - it is his pride and joy - a chestnut tree! We would definitely come back. I do wish they gave more than a very small pour. In some of the wines, we couldn't really get the flavors as there was just not enough wine in the glass to taste fully.
