Set against the backdrop of Simsbury’s rolling hills and nourished by the rich soils of the Farmington River Valley, Rosedale Farms & Vineyards has stood as a beacon of Connecticut agriculture since 1920. Now stewarded by the fifth generation of the Epstein family, Rosedale is far more than a farm—it is a living, breathing celebration of seasonal abundance, culinary heritage, and community connection.

Across the farm’s vibrant acreage, you’ll find a dazzling array of just-picked produce: sun-warmed heirloom tomatoes, fragrant basil, golden sweet corn, heritage apples, vine-ripened melons, and the kind of grapes that still carry the memory of the soil. These ingredients don’t just feed— they elevate. The farm’s produce is beloved by top local chefs and found in celebrated dishes across Connecticut.

Rosedale’s award-winning vineyard brings even more to the table, with over a dozen handcrafted wines—from dry whites and bold reds to playful rosés and subtly sweet blends—each made with estate or regionally sourced grapes and the same care that defines everything grown here. Tastings, flights, and weekend wine-by-the-glass events make the vineyard a destination in itself, while a scratch bakery and farm store round out the experience with pies, preserves, and carefully curated local goods.

Beyond its daily offerings, Rosedale is also home to beloved seasonal traditions: sunflower strolls, corn mazes, farm fests, live music, and elegant Chef-to-Farm dinners in partnership with Max Hospitality. It’s a place where weddings unfold under a canopy of grapevines, families pick raspberries in the summer sun, and every visit becomes a story worth remembering.

At Rosedale, every apple, every bottle, every bloom carries the imprint of time, tradition, and a family’s enduring devotion to the land. Visit once—and you’ll understand why it’s been a cornerstone of Connecticut farming for over a century.
