New England’s Oldest Vineyard

Founded in 1975, Sakonnet Vineyard rests on 150 acres of land, 30 of which have produced our award-winning wines for over four decades.

Our grapes are grown locally, picked by hand, and barrel-aged in French, Hungarian, Russian and American oak. Nestled between two waterways, Sakonnet has distinct maritime conditions. Cool air combines with a humid subtropical climate rarely found in northern America. These conditions foster a longer ripening season and a later-than-average harvest. Sakonnet's soils are more mineral-based with fewer nutrients, which allows for heartier, deeper-rooted vines. The grapes are slow to develop, and mature into a fruit with low sugar levels and high acidity—maximizing freshness and a depth of flavor.

Early-morning winds blow in from the water, lowering temperatures and wicking away the morning dew. Salty sea breezes, occasional rains, and rolling fog all lend unmistakable, striking flavors to the grapes at New England's oldest vineyard.

“Sakonnet Vineyard, how do I love thee? Let me count the ways. Beautiful open fields, vines, and super cozy Vermont made wood Adirondacks chairs and rockers with nice shade for partaking in a bottle of the noble rot. Super friendly staff who constantly check in to see if anything can make the experience better. Tasty vino perfect for sipping outside on a sunny day.”
“This Vineyard is worth the drive! The setting is so relaxing and beautiful, down a long and winding driveway from the main road. There are multiple lovely outdoor sitting areas, some with shade umbrellas. There is something for everyone in terms of the wine selections..”
“Beyond incredible. A 5 star California "Napa" style vineyard right here in New England. Not only is the wine incredible (the Rhode Island Red is the best) the property has expanded and is worth a walk about.”
