High above the shores of beautiful Lake Waramaug in the Litchfield Hills of the western Connecticut highlands, Hopkins Vineyard is producing award-winning wines on their Connecticut century farm.
The unique location of Hopkins Vineyard makes it the only vineyard in Connecticut with a micro-climate influenced by an inland lake; this allows an extended growing season and allows successful growing of grape varieties which ordinarily would not thrive in our northeastern climate. Classic grape varieties are grown on 30 acres adjacent to the winery. This family owned farm since 1787 welcome visitors and hosts special events on third weekend in May and September. 35-acre vineyard and winery offers wine tasting, wine bar, picnic area, shop.
