Another jaunt down the bike path leads to a gem of a place that has been providing local produce to the community for over 90 years…and now wine! Rosedale Farms & Vineyards, located in Simsbury CT, has been a delightful resource for buying local. Fresh-as-can-be vegetables, fruits, flowers and other delicious offerings are available at this roadside farm store. What makes it extra-special is its expansion into wine. This 5th-generation family farm also has a beautiful 4-acre vineyard. Flavorful red, white and blush wines are available for tasting on Saturdays and Sundays 12noon-5pm, July through October. Rosedale wines have won several awards, and they are a popular destination along the Connecticut Wine Trail.
Rosedale Farms & Vineyards teams up with the Max Restaurant Group for special evenings including farm tours, wine tastings, four to six course feasts created with Rosedale’s farm-fresh ingredients. Chef-to-Farm dinners are held on Thursday evenings throughout summer and fall. Other local farm dinners using the farm’s produce pop up throughout the summer as well, keeping Rosedale Farms & Vineyards a community favorite.
