Established in 1975

Planted in 1975, Sakonnet is the oldest vineyard in the region and has played a significant role in the developing wine industry.

Southeastern New England is influenced by a short growing season that yields wines with softness and finesse, balanced acidity, and bright fruit flavors. One of the key benefits of the local climate is that wines have excellent aging potential. The team at Sakonnet is dedicated to producing high-quality wines that showcase the region's special character through careful vineyard management and patience.

Hours: Thursday - Sunday 11am - 7pm

  • “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.”
