Fodor's Expert Review Hopkins Vineyard

This 35-acre vineyard overlooking Lake Waramaug produces more than 14 varieties of wine—from sparkling to dessert. A weathered red barn houses a gift shop and a tasting room, where knowledgeable staff explain the various wines and wine-making techniques. A wine bar in the Hayloft, with views of the lake, serves a fine cheese and pâté board. There's also a picnic area.
