Vineyard and Brewery Wedding Venues in Connecticut

Vineyards and breweries bring a mix of rustic charm and relaxed style to weddings. Many are set on rolling hills or near the shoreline, with views of vineyards or waterfronts. They’re a great choice for couples who want good food, drinks, and a unique backdrop.

Some feel rustic and casual, while others lean more modern and polished. Many offer tented spaces or restored barns for receptions, with outdoor lawns for ceremonies.

Here are some of the most popular winery and brewery wedding venues in Connecticut.
