We live right down the street from this vineyard and enjoy their outdoor entertainment during the summer months. For $12.00 entrance fee, you can enjoy wonderful bands from all genres each week. Bring a chair, food, table, blankets and set up your personal space with friends and family. Suitable for children.. they usually enjoy the dancing! Its worth the trip.
We visited this winery when our son's wedding was held there. It is in beautiful country in Connecticut. The wine is very good and everyone is so nice.
I've heard a lot about this vineyard and was looking forward to it. The grounds were beautiful, and they had a terrace/deck you could sit on and enjoy a glass of wine. The wine was ok. The employee was pleasant. We didn't purchase any to take home. I'm glad we went, but I don't think there's a need for me to return.
Spent an hour on a tour of the wine making and harvesting processes followed by a sampling of a flight of 7 wines--red and white. Very informative and enjoyable!
The location and views are breathingtaking. We pre-paid and called a week before to let them know a group of 10 would be arriving on Oct 1st at 3:45PM for the wine tasting. They were very accommodating and helpful on the "phone". Upon arrival, we were not even greeted. We stood around for a few minutes waiting for some kind of greeting and we then we had to ask for our contact person (Raeanne). She kind of rudely told us we could NOT put our tray of cheese and crackers on the tasting bar and "pointed" to a staircase and told us we could put our tray upstairs. and told we could use the room upstairs and order a few bottles of wine to sample or we could do the wine tasting downstairs (but as the bar was small we chose to go upstairs). We even had to go downstairs and bring our own glasses and take them upstairs. Someone on her staff did bring 4 bottles of wine upstairs. Neither she nor any of her staff ever came up and checked on us. Disappointing and certainly not what we expected. The staff was actually very unapproachable (almost rude), did nothing to make our visit there “special” and certainly did not go out of their way for us at all. I know we didn’t pay for a “tour”, but theycould of at least given us a 5 minute overview/history of their winery and their products and made us feel welcome.
We stopped at the winery during a ride to see the foliage. It was beautiful and relaxing. I would have like to have some choices of appetizers or cheese plates to accompany our wine. Many people came with their own coolers. Being unprepared, we didn't have much to choose from.
I enjoyed this tasting very much. We had wonderful conversation with the staff and the wine was very good. My only complaint is the woman who cashed us out. She was a bit cold and standoffish. Other than that, it was a great time.
Stopped in to JE for a wine tasting. The selections of wines are nice. The gal behind the counter is NOT very friendly which is a shame when we are out supporting CT Wineries. We have had the same person before too!! I hope when we visit next year she can smile and be pleasant.
Nice day trip from MA. 90 minute drive. Quiet setting. Great server who knew the wine. Outdoor seating but too cold the day we went. Nice crowd, but didn't feel rushed or crowded. The reds were awesome and caused us to join their wine club. No pressure whatsoever, only the merits of the wine. Highly recommended!
We went on a Saturday afternoon and it was very busy. You can pack a lunch, buy a bottle of wine from the winery and sit in the grass or on the deck and have a lovely picnic. What a great, inexpensive afternoon. Wonderful wine from their CT and Napa Valley wineries!
