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.

What used to be a warm, welcoming, beautiful experience is no longer. They didn't even bother to put flowers in the pots on the patio.

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.

Came here on a Friday afternoon for the winery. I walked casually through the farm store and into…read morethe winery. There were about 6 patrons inside there chatting over the drinks. I stood at the bar for a few minutes when I realized no one was coming so I went back to the front end to get some help. She sent someone right over. I ended up grabbing a flight because that's the best way to try wine at a winery you've never been to before. I decided to have my drinks outside on the porch patio. Walked outside and there about 15 people out there. I was wondering where everyone was based on how many cars were parked out front. They also have patio on the grass. Both have beautiful views of their winery. The pours for the flight were large, certainly more than a 2.5 oz pour however it just meant I needed to stay a little longer to finish and get right for the drive home. I think the flights may be more appropriate for sharing but either way no regrets here. The wine (well 3 out of 4) were delicious. I was not a fan of the Sunset Red it's their red blend and it smelled nothing like it tasted. I won't tell you what I think it smelled like because wine is a bit subjective unless you're a sommelier. That being said the boxcar red was much better and I think my fave I tried was the River Valley Riesling. Nice and crisp for the hot summer day. They have a gazebo outside and some tables and chairs with umbrellas for shade. A full outdoor bar seating area under a roof overlooking the winery and the occasional train. The ambience could have been perfect but they hang their dirty rags and towels on the porch to dry out. I think a little clothes line on the side of the building would work out well for this instead. There was also an umbrella and some other random items laying on the porch floor right near me. On my way out I asked about ingredients in one of their gluten free cakes, it's from Walmart. Now don't get wrong, I love having gluten free options but I was very surprised when they told me it's a Walmart cake. Just skip the gluten free treats and get the potato salad. It was fire and I would totally come back for that regardless if it's made in house or not. The workers were friendly and willing to help. I'll be back for another flight soon!

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!

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!
