my wife and I have been coming here for years but were extremely disappointed this last trip. We walked to the winery expecting to enjoy a glass or two for her birthday before returning to our family lake house which is less than a mile away. The moment we walked in the tasting room we were hounded for being intoxicated, interrogated for who we knew in the area, and reminded during each pour how we cannot be "drunk" at their establishment. Being a doctor myself and my wife a school teacher, we consider ourselves very responsible hence us WALKING to the winery. The hostility we felt was unparalleled. It is a winery, our conduct was more than respectful. Miranda, sorry to say you have lost some life long customers. read more

Driving through Litchfield county and stopping by vineyards is my favorite part of living in CT and Miranda is our favorite. The reds rival SMV around the corner but being at Miranda feels more like your visiting an old friend whose passion is making wine whereas SMV feels a bit commercial/bachelorette party destination. Plus Miranda is next to Thorncrest dairy (local wines followed by handmade chocolates!). Try the light, dry Woodbridge Red (& buy a case so you always have a drinkable house red at home!). read more

I am a huge fan of the CT wine trail. There are only a few, however, that make the top of my list. Miranda is one of them. A small, quaint environment that makes you feel at home the moment you step inside. The owner is extremely friendly and I love the fact that you can find her there most times I visit. The wines are great and the views will keep you around to enjoy a bottle afterwards. read more

I came here for a wine tasting and to inquire about having them host a wedding/banquet since the CT Wine Trail brochure said they are able to host weddings. The wine was so-so, not really impressive and more expensive than area wineries... go figure. The lady doing the wine tasting was fantastic, very personable and I wish it was her I dealt with when I inquired about having a wedding here. Instead she had the female owner come down to speak with me and she was terrible to deal with. I told her we planned on having 150 people and she said they don't accommodate more than 75 people. She then asked me when I wanted to have my wedding and when I told her we were planning for a Saturday Autumn wedding she said it was their busiest time and that they have their most wine tasters coming in then so a Sunday or a Friday would work better, she pushed for Friday. She was very unaccommodating and seemed to be annoyed that I was even asking her these questions. Sorry but I'm not scheduling my wedding around your wine tastings when every other winery didn't have an issue with Saturday weddings. She then said they don't really like to host weddings but that they try to be accommodating, and accommodating they were not. If she doesn't like to host weddings there then don't list yourself on the CT Wine Trail as a place that hosts wedding and stop wasting my time with your rude attitude and inferior wines. If you are coming here for the wine, prepare to be underwhelmed. If you are planning on having an event here, don't bother. read more

Miranda Vineyard is warm, inviting and very cozy with some great wines and service. It's the perfect place to meet up with friends and enjoy a few hours. I Love Open Mic, I was there with my friends last Sunday and met the owner who was gracious and friendly. Intimate, beautiful and comfortable, nothing's better than that ! read more

We went to three different places on this tour in Litchfield county of wineries and this was my least favorite. I didn't particularly love any of the wines, but the person conducting our tasting was very friendly and helpful. We did purchase a bottle and sit out on the patio with their cheese platter to enjoy the beautiful afternoon but would have appreciated better kept grounds. read more

Had the chance to head to the Connecticut Wine trail on Saturday and was amazed at all the great wines at Miranda Vineyards. We enjoyed a tasting of 7 wines, my favorite being the Cayuga white. The staff was helpful and laid back. Tables outside overlooking the vineyards made for a perfect afternoon. I'll be back... read more

This place is a hidden gem. The owner and his wife were giving us a great amount of info while we were having our tasting. The wine was just delicious and different from the other vineyards we visited. The highlight of our trip was that they make the most delicious white port! The tasting room itself was small but inviting. I would recommend you not miss this stop and do get a couple of pieces of chocolate with your tasting! read more

Miranda Vineyards on another beautiful day in Connecticut. Good friends, good food and the Cayuga White and the Woodridge Red complimented our picnic lunch/dinner well. Our server was very simpatica and the owners, Manny and Maria were also very simpaticos. The Vinho Fino was smooth and light. The Rose was good also. Beautiful drive and adorable vineyard. read more

Love this place. Run by really nice people, relaxed environment. Really enjoy when they have live music. The Rose and Farmhouse Red are great - and are really good if you chill them. read more

The server was, or at least sounded, very inexperienced in wines. She used words like the wine is a "sweetie" or it goes well with an "easy peasie dinner". She looked barely old enough to drink, how is she supposed to educate people on the wine they are drinking? I realize all kinds of groups go for wine tastings, but they should assume some of them actually want to know about the wine. As for the wines, they were barely palatable. The loud obnoxious music was interrupted by the loud patrons near by. Overall not at all worth the drive. read more

I felt rushed and I dumped most of my wines because I was not a fan. Many of their wines had an oak finish and I felt that the atmosphere was mediocre. Two of my least favorite wines were locally grown - woodridge white and red - and watch out for the staff. There was some sort of odd catty tension between them that was uncomfortable. read more

I visited the Miranda Vineyard for their Annual Harvest festival, it was a great event with traditional Portuguese Dance and Wine tasting. The Miranda family was very hospitable. I really the enjoyed the wines, their Port was better than a lot of Ports I have had. Amongst the other wines I really liked was the Merlot, Rose and Jerupiga. If you are a wine lover like me make the drive and you will be glad you did ! They are also on the CT Wine Trail Passport tour.... read more

The rosé was amazing! Lovely spot. Definitely will return.

I don't get the people with 1 and 2 star posts. I wonder if they're even legit. Funny how everytime someone posts a good review, a bad one is posted the next day. Definitely suspicious. The people here are very friendly, patient and knowledgeable. And their wines are great. We had a party of 5 and no complaints. In fact, we left with a total of 16 bottles among us. read more

Horrible service. We went on an open house day and there were only 2 people working. We asked if we could do a tasting outside because there were not many people there at the time and the older woman working there yelled "absolutely not!" and made a big scene about it. She poured us one wine and didn't give us any information about it. After, the younger lady working there did the rest of our tasting and she was much better and much friendlier. However, she was extremely flustered because a couple wines into our tasting the small tasting part of the room filled up and it was much more than 2 people could handle. We did not like the wine at all and was the only place out of 6 that we did not buy any bottles. However, the building was pretty and the views were beautiful. This place needs to make some major improvements with their service. Next year I plan to skip it. read more

Stopped by Miranda Vineyard with my group of 20 yesterday (9/10/16) They were very accommodating for my group and the lunch that I had catered there. I bought bottles of the Woodridge White and Woodridge Red to share with the group. The red was well received but the white seemed to lack flavor. We did not do a tasting while there so I can't comment on the other wines but the place was cute and the seating inside was adequate for bringing in picnic lunch. Great photo op outside with the antique truck! read more

Great place, wonderful proprietors Manny & Maria. I have been there countless times and enjoy my experience each time. Best wines in Litchfield County! read more

This is not a wine bar. It is not a hustling, bustling, vineyard. Its a picturesque family owned and operated vineyard that really puts an effort into their Portuguese tradition of wine making. This is a passion and that comes through in appearance, details and taste of wine. Its my go to for a quiet glass at the end of the week. read more

One of the great stops on the CT wine trail. Great space in the tasting room, with a nice deck overlooking the vineyards, and plenty of seating for those looking to sit and relax. The wines were quite good and they have gourmet chocolates to taste with the wine, and a nice cheese selection to purchase and enjoy. We liket the Cayuga and the Woodridge Red. Will go back soon...and enjoy. read more

We decided to hit Sunset Meadow (in Goshen as well WHICH IS MUCH BETTER) as well as Miranda... Miranda was awful. The grounds are gross and not well kept, the "sangria" was AWFUL and we didnt even do the tasting after we had the sangria. We left right after and didnt even bother. The reviews are 3 stars and less for a reason... dont go here, hit Sunset or Haight Brown before coming to this dump. read more

We have have been to most CT Vineyards. We usually find one or two wines we like at each except for Miranda. We LOVE every wine there. We make special trips to the far side of the state just to get Miranda Wine. read more

Miranda is a beautiful vineyard, and the people are very nice. Their wines for the most part are very traditional, a little dry for my taste but everyone has their preference. Their Cayuga is easily one of the best Cayuga wines I have had yet. So I frequently make it a point to stop in and visit. read more

seriously, don't waste your time here. I would give zero stars if yelp would let me. It's not aesthetically pleasing. The staff is overbearing and borderline rude. I did not feel welcome here at all. We came for the passport stamps, and my husband went to the bar to get our stamps, and the worker gave him a hard time about getting two books stamped, because I was shopping and not at the bar with him. It wasn't even crowded. Also: there is one bathroom in the whole place, and theres always a long line. Not cool. not cool, not friendly, not a place I will be going back to. read more

This is the absolutely best winery in Connecticut. The Farmhouse red is simply outstanding!! Maria and Manny are the most welcoming owners. I enjoy my visits and return time and time again! Love every visit!! read more

This was our second stop last weekend out of 4 wineries. I hadn't been impressed with the one before this, so I was hoping Miranda would pull through for me, and it didn't. It is on a small backroad in Goshen, if you're driving and not paying attention you may miss it. Parking is adequate, and it wasn't to busy for a Sunday afternoon. However, it is VERY uptight. When you walk in, there is a seating area to the left and then straight ahead is the tasting spot. You have to stand, which makes it slightly impersonal in my opinion. Like everybody else said, you have to choose 2 you DON'T want, which in my opinion, is kind of annoying. It's only 2 more, just let us taste them. But I get why they do it I suppose. You can also add chocolate (which I did) and shared it with my boyfriend. Out of all the wines, I only really liked one. I wanted to take one wine home from each winery, so I went with the Woodridge White. The girl who served us was brand new, but she seemed knowledgeable, and you can tell she studied her wines. She was friendly, however the tasting seemed SUPER rushed. We were in and out in 10 minutes. We were not impressed at all, and probably will only go back to get our stamps each year, but nothing more than that. The lady who seemed to be her boss kept snatching the bottles out of her hand when she needed them, which I thought was terribly rude. The chocolate was the best part of the tasting. To uptight for me. Good things: chocolate and the scenery. read more

to be fair we came in moments before they were closing. it was a saturday. there were several decently sized parties enjoying wine and snacks. the owner was behind the counter and although relatively gracious, made it very clear with the pace of the tasting (paid for, btw..not complimentary like some vineyards) that we were being strongly encouraged to make our way to the door. the wine was decent. nothing that blew me away. it wasn't an awful experience. the view, indeed, was breathtaking. but not entirely sure we'll be in a rush to get back. read more

This was our second stop of three wineries. I hadn't been impressed with the one before this, so I was hoping Miranda would pull through for me, and it didn't. Parking is adequate, and it wasn't too busy for a Sunday afternoon. However, it is VERY uptight. When you walk in, there is a seating area to the left and then straight ahead is the tasting spot. You have to stand, which makes it slightly impersonal in my opinion. The couple that arrived at the same time we did were treated very well. But we were not. The woman who served us seemed knowledgeable, however the tasting seemed SUPER rushed. We were in and out in 10 minutes. Her main preoccupation was to empty the last drops from wine bottles into others in order to eek out the dregs into additional customer tastings. Because we didn't have the Groupon, chocolate wasn't part of the tasting on this Valentine's Day weekend. read more

Awful wine. Poor atmosphere. On a beautiful fall afternoon, we were 4 of 10 people in the entire place. We should have taken this as a subtle hint as soon as we walked in. The wine smelled awful. We dared take a sip... Mistake #2. I'm just going to end this review here. Just don't go. read more

I am puzzled by previous reviews. This wine is awesome! The pourer was great and we felt we were given a great review of the wines. My husband and I purchased several bottles and we especially loved the Goshen Farmhouse Red and Rose. We have visited all wineries on the trail and this was our favorite! We also felt their Cayuga was the best in Litchfield County? We know wine and highly recommend Miranda. Also went to 2017 Wine Festival and they were #1 in our opinion! read more

This winery is nice. If you are a party of less than four, you will be waiting longer. The people who had chocolates with their wines seemed to get more attention. The area from the door to the parking lot could be better lit after dark. I will need to come again when it is less busy. read more

Another fun Saturday at Miranda vineyard. We came for the harvest festival 2 weeks ago and had such a blast! They got some authentic Lucy ball looking ladies from a Portuguese dance troop to start the grape stomping competition. It was so funny. Everybody had such fun watching the teams compete. The wine was very good. We tried it two years ago and i think it was a little better this year. Right up at the top of the ct wineries we've been to. There is a little something for everyone. Some were sweet, some dry. Very good reds, which were surprising given the cold climate. It was great visiting today when there were fewer people. We got to meet manny the wine maker. He had a lot to tell us. Amazing his family had been making wine for hundreds of years and his grandfather had a winery in Europe! Guess thsts the benefit to a boutique vineyard-face time wuth the wine maker. Definitely going to try and get here for the winter wine trail. read more

At most of the CT wineries we've been to we order a glass of something we're familiar with and enjoy it with a cheese platter or what have you. I was very happy we did the tasting at Miranda. Not only was it a lovely experience with wonderful people - other patrons A's well A's knowledgable staff but it forced us to try all the wines. As some reviewers noted some of the Miranda wines are not my favorite. However there were 2-3 that are outstanding! I strongly recommend trying them all! read more

This place was fantastic. The tasting was fun and delicious - the owners stayed an extra 45 minutes just to tell us about their place and its story. Maria and her husband were charming. A must stop along the great CT wine trail. read more

My husband and I love Miranda Vineyard . Our personal favorite wines are the Cayuga and the Chardonnay. The owners and staff are so friendly and we have met the most wonderful people there. The Sunday afternoon music is great and we have heard very talented acoustic performers. It is by far our overall favorite winery! read more

I love that place! The wines are excellent, and my favorite is the Cayuga. The ambience is lovely, the owners are very friendly. I loved the open mic and the variety of talents that entertained us. Keep us the wonderful work. Augsuta O. Prospect read more

I love Miranda. It is a beautiful setting, the winemaker's family are lovely and I can't wait to return. It is one of the venues that makes Litchfield-Goshen well worth returning to again and again. I like the wine and I like the deck--especially at sunset. read more

Beautiful and well appointed tasting room, with a balconey overlooking the vineyard and rolling hills in the distance. The owner served us. She knew her grapes and her wine, and was able to give us a wide girth information and history. We purchase a bottle and enjoyed the balcony and wineyards. read more

I love visiting the vineyards in CT. My favorite wines are the whites. Miranda has great wine. The people there were really nice. I loved the interior & it was a beautiful day so my friends & I enjoyed the outdoor deck. I would recommend this place to anyone who is up in the area. I can't wait to go back! read more

this was our last stop of teh conn vineyards on our trip. it was not as packed as haight brown or sunsset meadows. i think that is because they are a mile or so off teh main road. wines were generally good. teh rose was a little too sweet for me but my wife liked it. we had to pay extra for teh port tasting, which i wish they gave for free, but it was really, reallyg good. we ended up buying a bottle. what was cool is we got to meet teh owners. the guy is teh winemaker, which i guess is not common. they talked to us fo ra good 10 minutes. cute place. family run and small. worth the trip off teh main highway. read more
