Yelp Review My…read morefriends and I visited Sharpe Vineyards yesterday, while visiting Pomfret. The owner at first appeared very friendly and accommodating, unfortunately the visit shortly became chaotic. The owner became over talkative and extremely rude. One of my friends understandably became upset about the owner's manic behavior and decided not to participate in the tasting. The owner then became belligerent and started talking about my friend in the third person as if she was not even in the room. She said to us her three friends "oh never mind about her being upset, that's just the way some people are", or words to that effect. Then the owner stated "I haven't done anything wrong. " I attempted to diffuse this situation without success. The owner just became more manic and unpleasant. During this whole situation my friend, who was very distressed by the owner's behavior, remained calm and quiet. We ended the tasting as quickly as we could, bought our wine and left. Sharpe Hill Vineyard does have very good wines, l however will never visit their tasting room again for fear another offensive interaction with the owner.

The owner was joy to interact with as well & the tour of his buisness that he brought us on was a nice treat. It's always nice to see someone enjoying what they do. You can see the passion in this guy. Looking forward to the next one

The only vineyard in the area worth visiting!…read more The couple who owns this place are so nice and do a great tasting, explaining the history behind each bottle and their farm. The wines were all good- we bought a couple bottles plus slushees after the tasting and stayed a while. I am not usually a fan of the slushees but theirs are legitimately good! They don't have a big indoor area, plenty of space outside but inside is minimal- would like to see them expand it. Honestly would come back in a heart beat if in the area, it's just very far from us and the other wineries out that was are atrocious so not sure when we would be back.

There is seating upstairs on the top of a long and winding staircase. I personally enjoyed the Hillyland (the off-dry white) and it's very rare I can actually finish a glass of wine, I able to finish this one. The outdoors has a area of picnic tables and umbrellas - parking is a little small, it must get interesting in the summer.

We especially love their Friday night music nights--they make for such a fun, relaxed atmosphere with great vibes. Beyond just casual visits, we've even rented Cassidy Hill for our wedding rehearsal, and it was absolutely perfect--intimate, welcoming, and just the right setting to celebrate with friends and family. Between the cozy setting, friendly staff, and fantastic wines, this place has quickly become one of our favorites.

We were missing the wine slushies that they usually offer during the hotter months of the year. Coming here during October the weather was beautiful to celebrate my Mom's birthday. The landscape provided us a nice puppy surprise but other than that it was nice day to be outside taking photos and drinking some great wine!

We started with a flight (Gemini, pinot noir, and 2 ciders) which were all tasty. We had with 3 cheeses (camembert, bloomsday, and harvest moon) which were all very good. I got the steak and my girlfriend got chicken, both dishes were nice and flavorful. Dessert was a lava chocolate cookie with ice cream on top, which was fantastic Staff was friendly and attentive, and the ambience was lively but a moderate volume. Most importantly, very modest pricing for the quality of food. We will be back if in the newport area again

Although the tour guide (who never introduced herself so I do not know what her name was) was incredibly knowledgeable. I appreciated how much knowledge she had about the process and the wine varieties. But the tour should be a little more involved for the money you pay for it. The store is awesome. They had so many really unique items , you could easily spend some money in there. The wine is excellent, too. I tried about four different ones at the tasting and not one was bad. Overall a positive experience and I look forward to coming back for lunch in june!

Extremely impressed with this vineyard! I was in the area for the Mushroom Festival at Borders Farm…read moreand decided to see if there were any interesting wineries or breweries around (on Yelp, of course), which brought me here. I tried their flight, which offers samples of any six wines on their regular wine list. I chose one white that looked intriguing called Halo. It was one of my favorites of the selection, with nice tropical flavors. Of the reds, I most enjoyed their Twilight, a blackberry wine, and I purchased a couple bottles of this one to bring home. The staff was super nice and even helped me carry my cheese and crackers and flight out to the patio. Service was very quick as I came toward the end of the day. Atmosphere is nice and chill with outside seating (with heaters), some indoor seating and stand up service at the bar. Really look forward to returning here to sample their dessert wines. One enthusiastic customer even shared with me recommendations as I was checking out. Flights are a little higher priced compared to other wineries I have visited recently. Wine flight was $15 and dessert flight was a few dollars more. I LOVE that this winery is 21+ only and also does not allow dogs, which made for such a chill and relaxing experience. It was legitimately tranquil and so nice!
