A History of Haight-Brown Vineyard
Haight-Brown Vineyard takes great pride in being part of a wine industry in Connecticut that is steadily building a reputation in the eyes of those who enjoy the world’s fine wines.
Haight-Brown Vineyard, Inc. is Connecticut's oldest winery, having planted
the first of the fine wine grapes in Connecticut in 1975. The winery is
located in Litchfield Ct. in the northwest part of the state.
The Litchfield vineyard grows 45 –50 tons of grapes per year and produces Vinifera wines and French Hybrid blended wines.
Retail wine is available for sale and includes the familiar Chardonnay, Merlot, Riesling etc., as well as seasonal varieties such as Autumn Delight, Applecrannie, Spring Fling etc.
Seasonal events begin with the annual Barrel Tasting in April, followed by the Taste of the Litchfield Hills in June, and our Fall Festival in September.
Sales are predominantly from the winery, with some special label business and package store distribution in the local area. The company does not sell out-of-state. In Connecticut toll free 800-577-9463 or 860-567-4045 for additional information or print and fax our online form.
