    Hopkins Cabernet Franc
    Olga H.

    This is a beautiful vineyard. Last Sunday afternoon, they had live music inside and the ambiance was very pleasant. They offer a nice selection of finger foods and, of course, wines. The staff is friendly and very hospitable. It's a wonderful vineyard located in one of my favorite areas of Litchfield County and it's dog friendly!

    We came here on a nice summer afternoon and had 2 of their wine flights. The staff were all so friendly and pleasant. There was lots of seating both indoors and outdoors. Outdoors they have pinic tables and some regular tables. There was a live musician and the vibes were great! Their wines weren't our favourite overall but we had a great time

    We stopped into Hopkins Vineyard on a Sunday afternoon. The people working the bar are super knowledgeable and helpful. We got one wine flight and enjoyed all the wines. Note: as a wine flight, these are heftier pours than a tasting! We also ordered a cheese plate. It was beautiful, and they allowed us to pick the cheese! Definitely stop at Hopkins Vineyard when you're in the area, and take some wine home!

    We stopped in here for a wine tasting and charcuterie board! The wine was fantastic, I got the Vineyard Reserve, the Duet, the Cab and the Peach Wine. The peach and Duet were my favorites with the duet being bright and light and the peach having a great sweetness! The Charcuterie board had cheeses of our choice, hot honey, fig jam, and multiple bread/crackers (including Gluten Free crackers)! We also added the sausage and all the food was just amazing and fun to put together!

    Everything about this place is perfect :) They have such a cute little store with unique gifts, the staff is so friendly and kind, and the wine was amazing. We got the wine flight and had the staff pair each glass with a chocolate truffle. We also got the bigger cheese board, which came with not only different cheeses, but olive oil, nuts, bread, fig jam, assortment of crackers, etc!! It came with so much, we took the rest home. For some reason, the Maps app on iPhone says this place is closed when it's really not. Make sure to Google it or call them to make sure, because if we listened to Maps, we would've thought it was closed! So happy we double checked and ended up going. We came in August, so we could either sit outside or inside (we chose outside because the weather was perfect, no humidity and it was around 70°). I really can't stress enough how cozy and welcoming this place is. The staff are amazing! I never leave reviews but this place is so beautiful. We went on a week day so it was completely empty basically. It was so peaceful. I hope to come back in the winter when it's even cozier!

    A hidden gem right in our backyard-ish area. This place was introduced to us by our dear friends that brought us here right after spending a nice afternoon by the lake with our kayak. We picked up a couple of bottles of wine and sat outside in one of the benches and made our own little picnic. It was absolutely fabulous and they were so kind to allow us to sit outside despite them having to close in a few moments. We also snatched a bottle of their very own amaro and it was delish! They allowed us to sample it before even trying it. There are so many goodies in this winery so be prepared to come, pick up some snacks inside, cheese, crackers, spreads, you name it. All available! If someone from your group isn't big into vino you can even get some amazing Kent Falls Brewing beer on tap or a four pack to go home. Options are endless here. Service is amazing and these GORGEOUS views have all the California vibes. Live music plays on certain days. Just an overall gorgeous place to come hang out and truly relax.

    We had nothing to whine about Hopkins Vineyard! We had excellent service and were able to sample all of the wine offerings by purchasing two flights. There is ample indoor/outdoor seating and live music. After our tasting we purchased a bottle of the Vineyard Reserve to enjoy, and have already stopped at a local liquor store for another bottle to keep at home. Definitely worth the beautiful scenic drive up to northwest Connecticut.

    Live music on Saturday afternoon in June

    I had a great time at Hopkins! To summarize, 5 stars wine, atmosphere and service! We arrived on a Saturday afternoon in June. We started the afternoon with help from a kind woman at the front, who offered us a test of two whites that we were between. Even though the parking lot was crowded, the 4 of us were able to find our own picnic table to enjoy the live music. We were able to take a stroll around the property to enjoy the beautiful view of the Lake. We really loved the Estate bottle of Chardonnay. Also, the vineyard was dog-friendly and I saw plenty of people bringing their own food in.

    One of my favorite vineyards in Ct .Beautiful surroundings, very nice staff,loved the live music !!They have very nice souvenirs and when we went there for my husband's birthday we ended up buying 2 glasses with their logo because they don't allow glasses outside.Our favorite is a semi sweet wine called Sachem's Picnic with this beautiful ruby color .We also got to try a white refreshing Westwind .We loved that they have already chilled bottles and we really enjoyed the cheese assortment!Everything was so fresh!!Outstanding variety!!

    Some homemade snacks along with two bottles of hopkins wine and cheese platter.

    I love Hopkins vineyard. Always friendly service and so many wines to choose from, you'll definitely find one to love. There's a little store inside to get local jams, cheeses, and crackers. Very cute indoor and outdoor space, highly recommend checking it out.

    A beautiful vineyard! I love the expansive outdoor space. Riley did our tasting on out most recent visit and he was so friendly and helpful! There are so many options including a collab with the distillery in Litchfield. We've been many times and will continue coming back!

    Hopkins is the setting in which movies are made! This idyllic, no doubt historical, building is set in beautiful Litchfield County on land that includes a pond and sits across the street from a lake. My first discovery of Hopkins was last year when I participated in the Connecticut wine trail Hopkins in the oldest vineyard in Connecticut. You are able to bring food in and buy a bottle or glass(es) of wine to enjoy. The store sells numerous yummy treats for purchase as well. Outside, in the summer, they have ping-pong tables and corn hole. Check the calendar, there is often times music. Their wine is great as well!

Very professional, listened to what we wanted, then took us to three wineries that were fantastic. Each winery had its own unique character and the wines were spot on, as well the spirits in the last one we went to. Donovan's van was very clean, well air conditioned, and had all the amenities needed to go from one winery to the next. He's very knowledgeable of the area, well prepared, and an all around fun and great guy. He picked us up at our hotel at Marriott Courtyard Poughkeepsie and after the tour dropped us off at the Beacon Train station it really worked out very well. We'll be gathering a group of friends and hopefully do another tour in the fall or before Christmas. For sure we will pick Tour with Donovan again! Thanks Donovan!

Donovan set up each reservation so I had to do nothing but, book my trip with him and when he arrived he even had champagne and bottled water for us! At each stop Donovan made sure that we were treated like royalty. He didn't just drop us off, he got out with us and set us all up comfortably at each winery even going out of his way to get ice for our wine and helping us choose the best reviewed wines at each stop. Then Donovan even took pictures of our group at each stop and then sent them all to me to make sure I had memories of our trip. Donovan's vehicle was clean and well taken care of. All 9 of us fit comfortably with room for a few more. He was so hospitable and so much fun to hang out with on our drive to each stop. He played the music we liked and kept us laughing the entire time. I can't say enough about Donovan. I would definitely recommend him 100%.

The winery employees who come out need commendations, because it is just a mob of people waiting for free pours. It's a great idea and a good way for wineries on one side of the state to gain an audience on the other, but the design needs work. There needs to be a way to move some of the large groups out of the way so other people can get a pour. I had one pour (not tasting, one pour of wine) when I attended. Maybe in a few years it will be worth a try again. On the plus side, if you're doing the Wine Passport, you do NOT need to buy a ticket to get the stamp. Just ask at the gate for a stamp, get it done and get on your way. The rules of the Passport program do not require a purchase to get a stamp.

    What a nice day we had for this festival!!…read more Parking was nice and close right across the street and getting inside the festival was quick too. All the volunteers were very sweet. Lots of venders and a good variety of food trucks also. The amount of vineyard that were there too was really impressive! We sampled SO many wines and got some extra freebies from them also. Most of the wine vendors were nice and let us double sample to see if we wanted to buy a bottle or not but then there was a few ass holes who denied us and straight up lost our business because of that. Otherwise it was a lot of fun and I'd love to go back next year!

We were looking for an activity that would be fun for a multigenerational group of 23 people with toddlers, seniors, and everyone in between. We had been in communication with Oliver for months in advance. About two weeks before the big day, we saw that the forecast called for showers throughout Memorial Day weekend, particularly the Sunday of our planned cruise. We monitored the weather and decided to make a decision closer to the day. Throughout the entire process of planning, Oliver was responsive, reliable, accommodating, and kind. On the morning of the trip, Oliver gave us multiple options and worked with us to make sure that we could cancel and get a full refund due to the inclement weather. He provided us with agency up to the last hour of decision making. On a day that could have been really stressful, Oliver alleviated some of that stress. That is exceptional customer service, and that is the reason we will be coming back to the Argia for another special occasion. Highly recommend working with Oliver and his team if you get the chance!

The boat has different seating options - wooden benches and cushion seats without backrests. We reserved two of the cushioned areas and showed up ready to check in on time (they ask you to show up about 30 minutes before boarding to check in). You board at the dock just next to the bridge in Mystic, so it couldn't be more convenient if you're exploring Mystic for a day or a weekend. The Argia allows you to bring alcohol (wine and beer) on board (although they ask that you not bring large coolers - there's no room for them), so we brought a couple of bottles of wine bought from the great wine shop down the street. The sail is partly narrated. Our sail was two hours long, and the staff narrated for some of the sailing time - pointing out historic and interesting sites along the sail (islands with an interesting history, homes with interesting architecture, etc.). Between the gorgeous scenery, some narration of fun and interesting facts about Mystic and its harbor, the great wine we'd brought aboard, and great company - it was the perfect way to spend a couple of hours in Mystic. What a beautiful way to enjoy Mystic and its harbor!
