Established in 1983, with the present winery building finished in 1988, Chamard Vineyards is among the most beautiful and traditional of New England wineries. The 40-acre property boasts 20 acres of established vines that benefit from being only two miles north of, and influenced by the moderating temperatures of, Long Island Sound. The vines are carefully tended by hand in the European tradition, yielding superior Cabernet Franc, Cabernet Sauvignon, Chardonnay, Merlot and Pinot Noir fruit. Chamard Vineyards is deep in the country, but only a short drive from Guilford, Mystic, Mystic Seaport, Stonington (and Stonington Vineyards), as well as other destinations along the eastern reaches of the Connecticut shoreline, such as the casinos of Foxwoods and Mohegan Sun. Stop in for a tasting any day except Monday. Other vineyards nearby, also worthy of a stop, include Stonington Vineyards and Jonathan Edwards Winery. Chamard Vineyards
