Lisa loves animals and has dogs, rats, cats, guinea pigs, and snakes. She is passionate about animal rescue and live music - traveling across the country to see a favorite band is a pretty regular occurrence! Being out hiking in the woods enjoying the scenery with her beloved dogs is another favorite hobby, and also checking out the Pokemon Go scene in whatever city she happens to be in at any given time (coffee and dog leash in hand).

What’s better than a warm day at a winery in Connecticut? How about a warm day at a waterfront winery in Connecticut? Vineyards are absolutely gorgeous places, and there’s no better place to be on a warm spring or summer day. One of our favorite wineries in Connecticut is Saltwater Farm Vineyard. Located on 108 acres in Stonington, this waterfront winery offers amazing views, delicious wines, and an all-around wonderful afternoon.
Saltwater Farm Vineyard is tucked away just beside Wequetequock Cove in Stonington.
The 1,800-foot grass landing strip that was used when the land was a community airport has been maintained. You can still see it today within the fields!

Other remnants of the property's history remain. The main building at the vineyard was once the hangar. It's been remodeled, of course, but features much of the original wood sheathing.
There are sitting areas both indoors and outdoors, and you can bring your own snacks. There's sometimes a food truck on site, and cheese and crackers are available. Bring a blanket if you'd like to lounge on the grass and have an old-fashioned picnic!
Weekends often mean live music, and there are sometimes other events going on at the vineyard.
