The Winery

R•Dee Winery is a family owned winery with a focus on grape to glass by utilizing grapes from regions that grow them best. Our grandfather, Richard Dee, taught us to put family first and always follow your dreams. He has inspired us to continue to make wine as he did for years creating many wonderful memories. We hope to one day own our own vineyard and continue to make great wine in Connecticut. Pour a glass and create your story.

Our winery was designed and built by hand by the owners and their families. The McAuliffe's and their family designed the place with a vision of tradition and romance. They stained the ceiling, put in the floors, built the bar and included many little touches throughout the tasting room to make it all come together. The winery is a relaxing place where you can feel at home with a glass of wine, family and friends and good conversation and company.

R•Dee Winery hosts Trivia every Thursday with Best Ever Trivia starting at 7pm.
