About Stonington Vineyards Inc

Stonington Vineyards is one of Connecticut's more established names in wine, located in Stonington, a coastal borough in New London County near the Rhode Island border. With 172 reviews logged, it's one of the more widely visited wineries on VitisScribe's Connecticut listings. The coastal influence from Long Island Sound moderates the climate here, giving the vineyard slightly longer growing seasons compared to inland sites.

Frequently Asked Questions

Is Stonington Vineyards open year-round?
Many Connecticut wineries adjust their hours seasonally, with peak availability running from late spring through fall. It's worth checking Stonington's current schedule or calling ahead, especially if you're planning a visit in winter or early spring.
What makes wines from the Stonington area different from other Connecticut wines?
The coastal location near Long Island Sound gives Stonington a slightly more temperate climate, which can extend the growing season and reduce frost risk. This tends to produce wines with a distinct freshness, particularly in white varieties like Chardonnay and Riesling-style blends.
Can I combine a Stonington Vineyards visit with a trip to Mystic?
Definitely. The winery is just a short drive from Mystic, making it a natural pairing for a day out in southeastern Connecticut. Many visitors hit the aquarium or the seaport in the morning and finish the afternoon with a tasting.
Does Stonington Vineyards offer a wine club?
Wine clubs are a staple at established Connecticut wineries, and operations with Stonington's production scale typically offer some version of a membership program. Members usually receive regular bottle shipments, discounts on purchases, and first access to new releases.
How many wines are typically available for tasting?
The number varies by season and what's currently in production, but established wineries like this one usually offer six to ten wines across a tasting flight. Seasonal and limited-release options sometimes appear alongside the core lineup.
Are dogs allowed at Stonington Vineyards?
Pet policies vary widely by winery, and it's best to call ahead before bringing your dog. Some Connecticut wineries welcome leashed pets on outdoor areas of the property but not inside the tasting room.
