Frequently Asked Questions

Does Bergen House serve both wine and beer, or do I have to choose one?
Both are available at the same venue, so you can order from either menu depending on your preference. It's one of the things that makes Bergen House a practical choice for mixed groups.
Is Bergen House a good venue for a private event or party?
Yes, the dual wine and brewery concept makes it a distinctive backdrop for private gatherings. It's worth reaching out directly to discuss capacity, availability, and any event-specific arrangements.
How does Bergen House compare to a traditional Connecticut winery?
It's a different experience than an estate vineyard. Bergen House focuses on the tasting room and social atmosphere rather than estate-grown grapes, which makes it more of an urban craft beverage destination than a traditional vineyard visit.
Are reservations required to visit Bergen House?
Given the smaller scale and high rating, calling ahead or checking for reservation requirements is a smart move, especially on weekends. Walk-in availability may be limited during busy periods.
What kinds of wine are available at Bergen House?
The tasting room curates a wine selection that complements the brewery offerings, typically featuring a mix of red, white, and possibly sparkling options. Staff can walk you through the current list when you visit.
Is Bergen House close to downtown Middletown?
Middletown is a compact city, and Bergen House is accessible from the downtown area where restaurants, shops, and the Connecticut River waterfront are also nearby. It pairs well with a broader evening out in the city.
