Sharpe Hill has many fields of grapes, a tasting room and bar, and a restaurant upstairs in their main building.

From their website...
Our Vineyard is located on the slopes of Sharpe Hill which rises 700 feet above Connecticut's Quiet Corner. This creates a microclimate that mimics many of the wine regions of Europe. In fact, our latitudinal location is comparable to that of Rome, Italy. This microclimate also affords us the luxury of growing such vinifera varieties as Chardonnay and Cabernet Franc.


We planted our first grapevines in 1992. The vineyard has now expanded to 25 acres which include plantings of Chardonnay, Melon de Bourgogne and Vignoles for white wines; and Cabernet Franc, Carmine and St. Criox for red wines. We are continuing our vineyard expansion program with plantings of Riesling, Dornfelder, Gamay, and Landot Noir which will begin to produce crops with this year's vintage.


To date our wines have been awarded over 250 medals in National & International Wine Competitions. In a recent issue The Wine Spectator gave our Cuvee Ammi Phillips Chardonnay 90 points, outscoring many famous Chardonnays from all over the world.
