Services & Process

Nickle Creek operates as a full winery, meaning the production, aging, and tasting all happen on the same property. Visitors can taste through the current vintage lineup, typically including both red and white offerings suited to the New England growing season. The intimate scale of a Foster vineyard means your interaction with staff is personal, and questions about winemaking are welcome rather than rushed past. Wine purchases are available on-site, and the setting itself makes it worth lingering rather than treating it as a quick stop.

Nickle Creek Vineyard serves visitors from Foster and the surrounding towns of Scituate, Glocester, and Coventry. It's also within easy reach of the Connecticut towns just across the state line, and the drive from Providence takes about 40 minutes through some of Rhode Island's most scenic back roads.
