Established Legacy

Planted in 1975, Sakonnet Vineyard is the oldest vineyard in the region and has played a defining role in the evolution of winemaking in New England.

The Southeastern New England AVA is shaped by a short growing season, producing wines of softness and finesse, with balanced acidity and bright, expressive fruit. This coastal climate also contributes to exceptional aging potential.

Modern Stewardship

At Sakonnet, tradition meets innovation. Through regenerative farming and a thoughtful, postmodern approach to winemaking, we craft wines that authentically express our terroir and highlight natural structure, balance, and longevity. Guided by a commitment to sustainability, we continue to push the boundaries of New England winemaking while honoring the land and its history.

“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.”
