Chamard Vineyards is dedicated to producing fine wines from classic European wine grapes. A blend of time-honored wine making techniques and state of the art winery equipment are used to create world class wines. The main focus at Chamard is on Chardonnay, the most noble white wine grape variety in the world and the best variety that grows in the region. The vineyards spread across 40 acres of gently sloping fields along the southern Connecticut coast, just two miles from Long Island Sound. The 20 acres of established vines include the varieties Chardonnay, Cabernet Sauvignon, Pinot Noir, Merlot and Cabernet Franc. Chamard's classic New England styled winery features finely crafted stonework using field stones from the property and wooden beams milled from trees harvested from the property. Chamard benefits from a unique micro-climate influenced greatly by Long Island Sound. Located two miles from the sound and six miles from the mouth of the Connecticut River, this maritime climate produces mild winter temperatures and a long, warm growing season. The rich, stony soil, gently sloping land and moderate climate provide an ideal environment for the growing of European wine grapes The rest of the summer includes a Farmer’s Market each Sunday July thru October. From 12 pm - 3pm Chamard Vineyards invites local farmers and artisans to the vineyard to offer guests home grown, locally raised and hand made products. If you come to the market you will find fresh, vibrant food that has just been harvested. Enjoy local music every other Sunday during the market. Bring your picnic basket and blanket or chairs. Sit by the pond and enjoy the music, or on our deck overlooking the vineyards, while enjoying Chamard wines by the glass…and stay a while. A schedule of performers scheduled every other Sunday and more information on other events is available on www.chamard.com © Copyright by StamfordPlus.com.
