Sakonnet Vineyards, in Little Compton, Rhode Island was founded in 1975 on the well-researched premise that the microclimate and soil conditions found along the Southeastern New England coast closely resemble some of the great wine regions of the world, particularly, the maritime climates of northern France. At present, fifty acres are planted with many Vinifera varietals including Chardonnay, Gewurztraminer, Pinot Noir, and Cabernet Franc as well as Vidal Blanc one of the French-American hybrids. Wine production has climbed to over 30,000 cases annually with many wines receiving awards in domestic and international competitions. |

Thoughts on America:
Our largest competitors come from foreign countries such as Chile, Argentina, Australia and Spain. They have cost advantages(land and labor) that we cannot match. We promote other wines from the Coastal Wine Trail in Massachusetts and Rhode Island, all of which are family owned wineries. |
