Vineyard News
Land of Nod Winery in East Canaan, CT is one of the oldest working farms in the state, in the Adam family’s hands for eleven generations since 1780. Alongside their grape and fruit wines (try the Peach or the Blueberry Raspberry Medley), the farm still sells its own maple syrup, fresh eggs, and handmade wreaths. History buffs and wine lovers both have a reason to make the trip out to the Berkshire foothills.
Upcoming Events
Taylor Brooke Winery in Woodstock, CT keeps its Quiet Corner grounds busy with live music and food trucks nearly every weekend, plus a standing Vines and Vibes Yoga session among the vines for anyone who wants to stretch before they sip. Open Friday through Sunday, with a sister brewery on site for the beer drinkers in your group.
Winery Spotlight: Sunset Meadow Vineyards
Tucked into the Litchfield Hills in Goshen, CT, Sunset Meadow Vineyards was named one of the 101 Best Wineries in America by The Daily Meal, no small feat for an estate winery this size. The tasting room pours whites, reds, rose, fruit, and sparkling wines, and their newly opened Farm Market is worth a browse on your way out.
Weekend Trip Idea: North Shore, Massachusetts
Base a day around Mill River Winery in Rowley, tucked into a lovingly restored 19th century cider mill along Route 1. Try their acclaimed Naked Chardonnay, then head toward Newburyport or Plum Island for lunch and a walk on the beach. Best for anyone who has done the coastal wine trail south of Boston and wants to try the North Shore instead.
Sweet Wine Corner
White Silo Farm and Winery in Sherman, CT pours fruit wines made from their own raspberries, blackberries, and rhubarb, poured out of a converted 1780s dairy barn. Weekend mornings bring a spread of cookies, scones, and pastries alongside local coffee, so come hungry as well as thirsty.
