CT – Wineries & Breweries

Overlooking Lake Waramaug, Hopkins Vineyard pairs scenic views with easygoing charm and estate-grown wines. It’s a laid-back spot to sip, relax, and spend a slow afternoon. Bring a picnic, grab a bottle, and don’t be surprised if you end up staying longer than planned.

Set on a quiet farm road in Salem, Fox Farm Brewery serves up clean, balanced beers in a beautifully restored barn. It’s relaxed, scenic, and the kind of place where great beer speaks for itself—no gimmicks needed.

Tucked into the woods of Oxford, OEC Brewing serves up funky, old-world-inspired beers in a setting that feels more like a secret clubhouse than a taproom. It’s offbeat, welcoming, and a great pick if you’re in the mood for something totally different.
