A
s the 375-year-old Rose Farm in North Branford, Connecticut, makes its way toward its 400th anniversary, the 12th generation of the Rose family had more than 400 people attend the grand opening of their new Rose Vineyard and Winery on October 5. Jon and Ellen Rose are the husband-wife vintner team behind the new venture. It has been underway for the past three years as they designed and built the vineyard and the winery house, which includes a wine cave, event space and more. Outdoor seating and main winery floor spaces can hold close to 300 guests. Other spaces include a large patio, a lounge with a stone fireplace and high ceilings, and a tasting room with a long bar and pub-style tables. The winery offers guided tableside wine tastings. Tasting tours, only available by reservation, enable guests to learn about the grape varieties while touring the vineyard, understand more about the wine production and travel down to the wine cave for a wine tastings. They can also choose to add on food-wine pairings and barrel sampling. For 2019 production, the grapes were selectively imported to produce the eight different types of whites, rosés and reds that are currently available. The Rose vineyard was planted in 2017, and harvested and bottled for the first time this year. The Roses chose the Marquette grape as their red variety and the Vidal grape as their white choice to begin their vineyard journey. Another Rose family enterprise, North Branford-based Al Rose Construction, constructed the buildings, which are located on Rose land that has been in the family since the mid-1600s. The main buildings are for those 21 and older. Families are welcome in a space near the orchard. Rose Vineyards and Winery is open from 11 a.m. to 8 p.m. on Wednesdays, Thursdays and Sundays. Friday and Saturday they close at 9 p.m. The facility is closed on Mondays and Tuesdays. For tour reservations and information, connect at 475-221-8637, RoseVineyards@gmail.com or Facebook.com/RoseVineyards. Rose Vineyard and Winery is located at 2 Valley Rd., North Branford, CT.
