Located in the Thames River Valley of southeastern Connecticut, Holmberg Orchards & Winery is a working fourth-generation family farm growing 50 acres of vineyard, tree fruits, berries, vegetables and more.  Expect an authentic farm visit: you are likely to encounter the sights and sounds of production agriculture while in our laid-back tasting area.

Our farming history is rich with fruits, and recent expansion has allowed us to become a contemporary and diversified farm excelling in wine grape production as well.

Joining us is a truly local experience; our current lineup of 12 products contains only one wine from fruit sourced off our farm.  We offer several white wines, sparkling hard ciders and fruit wines that are crisp, clean and surprisingly sophisticated.
