 | |    ![]() Rosedale’s newest venture was the cultivation of grapes and the creation of a 3 acre vineyard. A wine bar and wine tastings followed their first vintage in 2005. Since then, the Rosedale label has captured many medals in wine competitions: • 2007 Gold Medal for Farmington River Red at the Big-E New England Regional Wine Competition
• 2 Silvers for Lou’s Red and Serendipity at the 2007 Tasters Guild International Competition.
Not bad for a label only two years old! Rosedale encourages group tastings by special appointment; we also make up custom corporate gift baskets: and our farm is open for rental for tented wedding receptions next to the vineyard or the river.
