We attended the Cato Corner Farm cheese and wine tasting last night, 2/29/24, and we left just a bit disappointed. This was our first trip to the winery, the location is gorgeous! High on hill overlooking the state to the west. Cato cheeses were excellent!! The gentleman presenting the cheeses provided interesting information on how the cheeses are made and what to look for in each. The disappointment was with the wines, not enough to go with the cheeses, to enjoy the tastes together. There also should have been a pitcher of water at the tables so we could rinse our glass between tasting a white to a red wine, as well as our pallet. These were minor points, but something they need to improve for the next tasting.

Crystal Ridge hits it “out of the park” in all categories! The wine is excellent and it’s served by some of the nicest people you’ll ever meet. If that’s not enough, the setting of the tasting room is absolutely spectacular! You’ll get views of downtown Hartford and the CT river valley. A++++

Cannot say enough about this wonderful place! The wine is wonderful, the music is the best, and the service is exceptional! Our happy place! Let’s not forget the sunsets are the best in CT! We love coming here and you will too!

Love this Winery! It's a beautiful, casual atmosphere. We usually go on weekends and there has been a food truck and live music to enjoy along with the wines. Many people bring their own snacks. There's an outside downstairs area, but we love to sit on the deck and hang out at one of the tables out there. I usually stick with their white wine selections and have never been disappointed. Highly recommend!

it was a good time with the people we invited, but a worker said we were being loud celebrating our friend's bday (when we made a reservation, tipped over $50, we bought 6 bottle in total (20% tip each time,including all our single glass purchases). The bottles we bought were around $35-40 per bottle (we bought individual glasses too) and were told we were going to be kicked out by one of the lady who came to our table (after we came back inside post taking photos outside) if we were make more noise (we just spent over $150+ in total and we were seated on the second floor). Rating would've been better, but that happened. there was lots of noise downstairs with a band playing (we made reservations and got seated upstairs). We were trying to a have a good time for a bday but they were rude about us being loud (we're drunk like we wanna have a good time and we had a reservation).

We had a lovely evening on Thursday at Crystal Ridge… Party for about 50 people and Tina James and her staff couldn’t have been more accommodating. Wonderful location, beautiful views, attentive service. Highly recommended.

If I could post on the environment Its definitely beautiful. The other staff I had interactions with were great. But if your a mama who needs to pump or are nursing a baby and have to bring the baby to tag along this place isnt for you. I was told I needed to pump in the handicap stall in the bathroom Not once but twice. I have Wearable pumps that go right into my shirt and my sister was there for a party. This environment isnt new mom friendly. Its such a shame as I just wanted to enjoy my time with my friends and family as we had a large group. I would never come here again and extremely disappointed in the fact that it was not supportvie for a mom to feed her baby.

Cute winery... went on a Sunday afternoon and there was a good set of people but still had lots of room to sit and enjoy the wine. There was also a food truck onsite which we opted to purchase from. The prepackaged charcuterie at the winery was pretty basic and nothing over the top. I would highly recommend to bring your own. We opted for the tasting which was $25 per person. With the tasting you get one glass at a time. They do not serve all tastings at once. The pours were very small as well. The wine was ok but def not great. It was nice for an outing to hangout and relax but the wine was nothing special.

There are excellent views and several choices for wine and beer. There was a BBQ truck and live entertainment when we were there on a Sunday afternoon. It is pet friendly, service was very good and there was plenty of parking (note if walking is difficult, you can drop someone off on the way to park). We saw at least one bridal party so something to think about if that's in your future! If in the area around Belltown Orchard I would add this as a must go to stop. We had a blast!
