Middle of the Vines Vineyard Tour
Middle of the Vines Vineyard Tour offers a relaxing, all-inclusive way to explore the Connecticut Wine Trail without worrying about driving, reservations, or planning the day’s itinerary. Operating Thursday through Sunday during the summer, Friday through Sunday in the fall, and Saturday through Sunday during the winter, the guided experience departs from Mystic and visits three carefully selected vineyards across southeastern Connecticut.
Guests travel in a comfortable 15-passenger van to scenic wineries in communities including Stonington, North Stonington, Preston, and Ledyard. Each stop allows about an hour to enjoy the vineyard, sample local wines or other beverages, and take in Connecticut’s picturesque wine country. Every tour includes lunch from Sift Bake Shop, one beverage at each winery, bottled water, and snacks, creating a stress-free day designed for both visitors and local wine enthusiasts.
Because winery availability changes throughout the season, destinations vary from tour to tour, giving returning guests the opportunity to experience different vineyards throughout the year. Whether you’re celebrating a special occasion or simply looking for a unique day trip, Middle of the Vines handles the transportation and planning so guests can relax and enjoy the journey.
