First visit 6/14/14 staff was very welcoming and helpful, wines are light and crisp, a bit pricey but good. Building is old airplane hanger, nice walk down the grass runway to the water. Hostess informed they have music on Sundays and guests can bring a picnic and blanket to sit on the lawn. Must do that this summer!
had the most relaxing time just enjoying the wonderful nature with a glass of wine. the first vineyard that my wife and I went to and had the best time ever!!!! the breeze by the ocean is great and such a beautiful place. $10 for wine tasting and a glass runs from $7 to $10. you can also purchase by bottles and I believe they were around $35. not much of selections in term of wine but you can just go there and relax~~ you can bring your own food and such and bring blankets to lie down on the grass, under the tree if you want... have a small picnic/lunch and just take a nap. enjoy the nature~~ I really wanna go back!!
On our recent visit to Mystic, we drove over to the Vineyard and I would recommend if you are in the area, you consider doing the same. A beautiful piece of property! They restored a hanger which now houses their tasting rooms, event room and their winery with fermenting tanks. There is a beautiful outdoor patio and grounds with picnic tables and Adirondack chairs that overlook the vineyard with the water in the distance. It seems to be a hit with the locals and many pack snacks and lunch, buy a bottle of wine and make an afternoon/evening of it. We went on a Thursday around 5pm and they have live music and a local oyster farm shucking and selling oysters for a fee. The staff is amazing, knowledgeable, friendly and make you feel right at home. All that and I really enjoyed their wines too! Particularly the chardonnays (not the fruity sweet local wines I’ve tasted at other vineyards) and took a few bottles home!
We visited three vineyards in the area, and this one was our least favorite. In their defense, I enjoy sweet white wines and they do not make those. They were only tasting four wines the day we went. I would probably not return.
This winery is OK. I do not have a favorite wine here but the person that I went with did purchase a bottle. The scenery is beautiful!! Each year I stop to do a tasting on the CT Wine Trail but I do not find the staff very friendly. The building is very clean and large.
This was out 2nd visit to Saltwater Farm Vineyard and it won't be our last. We did the tasting menu and sampled 5 wines. We really liked the Chardonney aged in stainless, the Rose, and the Red's. We purchased 6 bottles to take home. The grounds are stunning so we walked around and out to the water.
We visited the Saltwater Farm Vineyard for tasting on a Friday afternoon. While the building and surrounding grounds are beautiful, the wine and tasting experience were disappointments. The vineyard looks to be a nice place to have a wedding or other grand event, but you can skip visiting it if you are purely interested in trying its wines.For a fee of $10, you receive samples of four wines: two whites, a rose and a red. Both the sauvignon blanc and chardonnay were drinkable, but the rose had no flavor and the cabernet franc had no depth of flavor. During the tasting, our server seemed totally disinterested in interacting with the patrons. She would pour a sample, give a short description of the wine, and then return to her cell phone to continue texting or emailing. We left shortly after our tasting concluded.
Attended a retirement party at SWFV and it was just wonderful. Michael and Merrily were wonderful to work with. Love the atmosphere and especially the rose wine. The cabernet is wonderful as well. Can't wait to return for their music nights this summer.
We had a group of 4 last Saturday 11/01/2014 that decided to go wine tasting. We went to this vineyard first as it was the closest to where we were staying well upon arriving we were quickly a\surprised at the appearance of the facility! The double doors bring you into a very majestic winery that was a converted airport hanger . They did a marvelous job renovating this and tasting occurs upstairs where very friendly and knowledgeable people take care of you ! We had Nancy that was very gracious and quite knowledgeable about the different wines. Bottom line we had a great time and the views of the vineyard are fantastic and people very helpful and friendly! I will be returning to this vineyard for sure!
This winery is filled with history and flavor. The wines are good, especially the whites, and are reasonable. The winery itself is in an old, restored airplane hangar and with the high, vaulted ceiling, it is a great location right on a salt marsh. You can still see the original grassy landing field in the middle of the vines. If I had a big event, this would be the venue! Beautiful, peaceful, multileveled and friendly people. Recommend.
