Can you beat that? (Answer: no) This was my first time checking out their new location and Gooseneck did a beautiful job. Inside and outside alike are wildly spacious to accommodate all manners of parties and some of the seats are seriously comfy. Can't wait to test out the fire pits. The space is truly gorgeous and liked that they had a food truck on site since they only serve charcuterie boxes in-house (they looked tasty, though!). Good variety of wines to choose from as well as some other NA options. My daughter had a wonderful time bopping to the music. Looking forward to coming back!

The inside seating was really nice, barn chic and the outside was great with Adirondack seating and fire pits. Now the important part, the wine was 7.5/10. Their Pinot noir was velvety and delicious. I wasn't fond of the whites, they were a bit on the sweeter side to me but I enjoyed all of the reds I tried. The staff was overall friendly, and made good conversation. I did ask for something "not sweet", and they gave me a rose, which was an odd choice but they were nice.

The Food and 5. the entire staff. Having just returned for a special family gathering (with a birthday thrown in), my brother, sister-in-law, and sister from West Hartford and Simsbury were blown away. I should note both my visits were in the daytime. Besides the rustic beauty of the vineyards, the grounds are lovely and set a peaceful tone for the restaurant. The interior is beautiful and with plenty of warmth and natural light from the windows. The walls are adorned with artwork for sale but tastefully done, as was a handcrafted bench (which I bought!) that allowed me an opportunity to sit and soak in this surprise dining experience. Our server for both experiences was Garret and honestly, we are spoiled - polite, upbeat knowledgeable and accommodating - even when he was the main server he never ignored our table. Every food course over two visits were nothing less than fantastic - from flavor to presentation the food was perfectly prepared. The server in taking the order and the wonderful chefs were both very accommodating for a member of our party with dairy allergies. From the website and now two visits this is not a winery tour or exclusive wine tasting spot - this is a beautiful restaurant that makes (in the basement) and serves their own wines - even the red is made on property from grapes brought in from out-of-state. I will be going back frequently and cannot wait for the colder months, holidays and dinner by their fireplace!

We were greeted by very nice locals and a woman who either owns or works at the farm. It had a cozy Christmas charm and she gave us a few samples of their local fruit wine. I have never had wine besides wine made from grapes. I was very pleasantly surprised with the apple, peach, and blueberry fruit wines!! They were soooo good that we bought 4 bottles home. In the back of the shop is a Christmas tree farm. The men in the tree farm were very nice and offered me my own saw to cut down the tree of my liking. I was flabbergasted because I'm from NYC...saws are definitely not within arms reach at any tree farm...or anywhere...unless you're at Home Depot or something. I was very happy with my visit here and the merchandise we bought.

It is also a perfect winery for larger groups as they have an indoor and outdoor tasting area. This place is just beautiful. We sat on the porch looking out over the vineyard like we were in the Alexander Valley. Honestly, we have done the North Fork trail more but will now be a SOFO family as well. Helene and I both enjoy a good Chardonnay and "Wolffer's Pearl" is great, A chard with tremendous body and depth. We had the honor of being on a European Wine Cruise with the wine maker. Roman Roth [and his wife]. He had multiple wine dinners where we had an opportunity to try some of these new red and white wines and really took a liking to them. We joined their wine club as soon as we returned home so we'll have more to enjoy during the year. Let me be honest... I have been drinking and collecting Roman Roth wines for years now and have always enjoyed them. The team that took care of us was amazing. Nothing but smiles and service. We were very lucky to have the opportunity to experience this wonderful visit. The only downside is that the drive from mid-island to the Hamptons can get a little long. This was a small price to pay for the wonderful experience we had. KUDOs to the team at Wolffer Estate Vineyard

We purchased a bottle of wine which we didn't finish so my wife asked about either re corking or sealing the bag due to it will be considered a open container in a vehicle if for any reason being pulled over by law enforcement during transport. The woman behind the bar gave a rude gesture by shrugging her shoulders and said "we dont do that" and then walked away as my wife was still talking to her. The woman then turned around and shrugged her shoulders again as if she didnt care and then disappeared. This type of customer service behavior put a bad taste in our mouths. Since there are other vineyards in the area, we will not be returning for a while, or maybe even never return again. Below is my original review. Our favorite vineyard to visit in the area. Great place with great people. We visit often. The wine is a French style and have a variety of red and white wines that are very flavorful. Saltwater has a wonderful atmosphere and is relaxing. Visit on a evening when they have live music and a food truck. Check their website for dates and times.

After checking out the local liquor stores and "fine wine" shops, we were directed to the Divine Wine Emporium and found a goldmine. Located conveniently along a major interstate, the Emporium doesn't look like much from the street, but give it a chance! Inside, the dual level store expands with impeccable organization, and great selection. Each section of the store is organized by region on each rack. We usually park ourselves in the Napa Valley area or France, but we eventually also meander through the whole store to see what catches our eye. If you're not a wine fan, fear not! They have a large craft beer section in the back, as well as a fine and craft liquor area, to round out any drink collection. My favorite must-haves are their extensive selection of France's Chateaunuf du Pape, and the illusive and rare White Chateaunuf. We never leave without a wine country classic like a Howell Mountain Cabernet or a Russian River Chardonnay. Selection is pretty constant, with some rotating specialties, such as my personal favorite seasonal pumpkin beers, or unique odd lot/limited lot Wine + items. There are gorgeous wines I've not had the opportunity to try yet, but we will absolutely be returning. Price is average, but the help at the Emporium is excellent. The owner is a wine expert, and has something to tell you about literally every bottle in the store. They also offer wine education classes, and monthly wine tasting by region, which I have yet to attend, but am both intrigued about, and excited for.

The vineyard has indoor and outdoor seating. We started out with a three wine flight ($22 per flight) from the custom wine flight: Seaport White, Sheer Chardonnay and Cab. Franc. The next wine flight was also from the custom wine flight: Riesling, Oak Chardonnay and Pawcatuck River Red. All the wines were very good. Thank heaven, the flights were in glasses. Our favorite was the Sheer Chardonnay. Normally, I don't like Un-Oaked Chardonnay, but this one was excellent. This baby came home with us. The gift shop has some very clever and unique wine related items. In fact, I thought this was the best gift shop in any vineyard I've visited. We purchased a towel, "Let's Drink Wine and Judge People". Customer Service was pretty good. As we were leaving, it appeared that the winery was having a music event on the grounds. Definitely will make a return trip to Stonington Vineyards in Stonington, Ct. Cheers everyone!!!

The staff also opened up one of the large window doors so we can have the perfect hybrid of inside and outside. We tried a couple of their flatbreads and they were tasty and paired well with the wine. This establishment has hotel rooms upstairs and is often used for events, including weddings.
