I decided to go for a drive last weekend not planning on stopping anywhere but I saw a sign the vineyard was open and decided to stop just to see it. There were clear signs in the parking lot asking you stay in your car and before I was done reading the sign two very friendly people in masks and gloves came out to greet me. They gave me great info on the vineyard and wine from 6 feet away. I told them I don't drink and don't need a gift for anyone right now but the girl Kim stayed talking to me while the boy went to help another car that pulled up. Kim then told me about the CT chocolate they sell as well as all the local cheeses and crackers. She was very patient and even repeated the options when I couldn't decide. She helped me with cracker selection too. So I left a vineyard VERY happy with CT cheeses. Sorry I can't mention the wine but while I was there one other car bought a few bottles and another car bought a case. Thanks SMV.

Was on our way to a different place and drove by and decided to stop. It was great for 2 boys ages 5 and 7. Well worth the extra $5 for the food to feed the animals. The Museum was also very nice. The roads are a little rough but it keeps everyone driving slow. Will definitely visit again.
4. Miranda Vineyard

Ideally located in the rolling Litchfield Hills near scenic two-lane highways, covered bridges, and antique shops. Its bright and airy tasting room and large exterior deck make an excellent place to sit, relax, have a glass of wine and enjoy the company of good friends. The Vineyard is two hours from New York City. A visit to the area with its famous autumn foliage, historic sights and many wineries makes a great day trip.

What a great find ! This place is a gem ???? It’s small and cozy like but large enough because you don’t feel closed in. Cathedral ceilings, an outdoor patio seating area, chairs and tables under a pergola and a nice fire pit to keep toasty on chilly autumn afternoons. Live music as well !!!! But the best part are the amazingly tasting wines. These are so smooth and succulent. No preservatives, no sulfates, just amazing wine. You will not be disappointed coming here. Mark, the owners son, is very welcoming and the rest of the staff was so gracious and helpful. We can’t wait to go back enjoy another Sunday afternoon at Miranda vineyard. ????????
