Preston Ridge Vineyard

Preston Ridge Vineyard is a family-owned winery in Preston, Connecticut, founded in 2012 by the Sawyer and Helm families after they began planting vines in 2008. The property spans roughly 60 acres on a ridge about 15 miles from Long Island Sound, with views that stretch across more than 20 miles of the Connecticut countryside. The vineyard produces estate-grown wines across two planted levels, with first vintages released in 2011 and a current lineup of ten wines. Its selection includes whites such as Cayuga-based Fieldstone White, Traminette, Vidal Blanc, Chardonnay, and Riesling, alongside rosés and reds led by Cabernet Franc, plus Cabernet Sauvignon, Merlot, and a Bordeaux-style blend. Wines are made in a range of styles, with some aged in American oak, French oak, or steel. Visitors can taste in the tasting room, join group tastings, or attend weekend events featuring live music, food trucks, and yoga. The property also hosts private events and vineyard weddings for 50 to 175 guests, and includes a disc golf course. Preston Ridge is a stop on the Connecticut Wine Trail.
