Summer Pop-Ups at Stonington Vineyards

Summer Pop-Ups at Stonington Vineyards offer free live music, local food, and award-winning Connecticut wine during relaxed weekend afternoons at one of the region’s most scenic wineries. Held on Saturday and Sunday, July 18-19, these free pop-up events provide a more casual alternative to the winery’s Friday evening concert series, inviting guests to stop by for live entertainment while enjoying wine tastings, glasses, or bottles of wine overlooking the vineyard.

Saturday features Ben Freiert performing from 3 to 6 p.m., while Sunday’s entertainment is provided by Brandon Donahue from 1:30 to 4:30 p.m. The Grill by Kay will be serving food Sunday, making it easy to spend an afternoon relaxing with great music, local food, and wine.

Unlike the winery’s ticketed Friday concerts, the Summer Pop-Ups are free to attend with no tickets required. Guests are welcome to stop by, enjoy the music, purchase wine tastings or bottles, and take in the beautiful vineyard setting. Outside alcohol is prohibited.
