We took my brother and his wife on the CT Wine Trail recently and we were having an okay day. We knew it was getting close to closing time, but CT Valley Winery was our second to last stop for the day. When we first entered, we were told that they were closed for tasting which I understood since it was 4:45 and the door closes at 5:00 - not enough time to do some serious wine tasting. Maybe our disappointed faces were enough because for some reason, Jason (and owner) all of a sudden changed his mind. And boy, I can't thank him enough - his winery was the very best and highlight of our day! He had us try several wines, gave us a crash course on everything from his winery to how there are no sulfides in his wines which is why a person needs to keep them refrigerated and drink within 3 months - except the port. Hopefully I got that last part right! The point is - Jason was personable, witty, and gracious. He did not hurry us and we thoroughly enjoyed chatting with him. Needless to say, my husband and I, plus my brother and his wife made it worth his while by buying several bottles of his wine. My only regret is that we live in Massachusetts. I'd give anything for this winery to be within a 15 minute ride from my house! Thank you Jason!

Since writing my first review on CT Valley Winery in 2012 I have visited two to three times per year. This is one of my favorite wineries. There is a new wine Chardonel which is delicious, I have to go back to get more bottles of the Chardonel. The Black Bear wine and Sangria are great too!!!!

This was our last stop and was well worth it. Got there about 20 minutes before closing time and Jason was about to go home. Opened back up and let us taste anyway. He was great -- informative but not pushy. Had a great sense of humor too. If you love sweet wine, this is the place to be. A little spendy but worth the investment. Will order their wine again.

I've been to Connecticut Valley Winery many times and each time I am not disappointed. The tasting is generous - 8 wines for $8. I like being able to taste so many wines. Honestly, I love all of the wines they have you taste - red, wine, dessert. I can't find one I don't like! The wines do tend to be a bit on the sweeter, fruiter side which is exactly what I like. The dessert wines are definitely my favorite. I always leave with a couple bottles to take home. Price is reasonable for bottles from around $18 a bottle to $30 for their signature dessert wine Black Bear, which is one of my favorites.The location is convenient, it is right off Route 202. You may wonder if it's a pretty location because it's right off a major road, but once you turn into the winery, it is set back with rollings fields and set away from the busy traffic. There is a nice patio area in the back to sit with a glass of wine and have a snack while enjoying the grape fields.The winery is family owned, and each time I go, the same family members are working the tastings. The family is very passionate about their business and it shows when they do the tastings. Each time I've been (maybe a total of 5 times now) they seem just as enthusiastic to talk about the wines as the times I've been before.I highly recommend a stop to this winery.

Today we took a trip up through Northwestern Connecticut excited to visit and sample the local wines in this region. We arrive at Connecticut Valley Winery at 4:34pm excited we made it before their closing at 5 (especially since we traveled approximately two hours from home) and were turned away when we walked in. Apparently they stop serving the wine tastings at 4:30pm. Nothing in the passport notified us of this, just a tiny hand written sign on the door that was later pointed out to us. The only good thing about this stop is that we got our passports stamped. We did not find this place friendly or welcoming at all.

Was our second and final stop on day 1 of our Wine Trail tour. Bright and enjoyable tasting room. Our guide was the owner's son, who clearly had a handle on each and every wine we selected. Proud of what they do and what they make. Plus, he made the experience of the wine tasting very fun and satisfying. We purchase two bottles after the tasting, and will certainly return next year.

The wines here are really sweet and although contain a lot of flavors, none of them are ones I would seek out when looking for a glass of wine. The winemaker even boasts that one of the wines is Hi-C for adults. He also goes on to boast about how the low sulfur content in the wines is great because it doesn't lead to hangovers and suggests that it's okay to drink several bottles of the stuff because it won't leave you feeling sick in the morning. Google "sulfites causes hangovers" and learn that there's no correlation between sulfur and hangovers unless you're allergic to sulfur. The tasting ultimately concludes with the winemaker touting "You'll be drunk before you leave" and finishing the tasting off with their port.Ultimately a rather poor winery experience and one that I won't be repeating.

Each time I visit CT Valley Winery I enjoy the wine tasting and the great flavors of their wines. I also leave with the purchase of four to six bottles of wine. In my opinion CT Valley has the best wine on the CT Wine Trail. Very family oriented, friendly and informative. Jason takes his time to explain the wines and how they are made. Keep up the great job Jason along with your Mom and Dad. The next visit will be in the Spring so I will see you then.

One of my favorite wineries on the CT Wine Trail. The wine is delicious I always purchase a few bottles. There are no sulfides in the wine so no headaches. The wine maker is enthusiastic and loves explaining the various wines and flavors during a tasting. A cheese pate is given when you order a glass of wine. A pretty winery to sit, relax and enjoy the afternoon. This winery is at the top of my list and I visit a number of times each year.

Quick stop, the tasting room was sizable, fire place roaring, small shopping area, easy to get too, giant size room with tables, patio overlooks parking lot and minimal view of grapes.
