Stonington Vineyards


This vineyard, the state's third-oldest, is open year-round and offers tastings and tours through the picturesque facility, which on occasion has food trucks on-site. Ebbie Young, the manager, is part of local culinary royalty: her hubby Adam runs the award-winning Sift bakery in downtown Mystic. Try the cab franc.
