Croteaux Vineyards
Rosé means relax — pink Provençal garden among 18th-century barns.
America’s rosé-only estate, poured in a pebbled courtyard among barns from 1749. Pale Merlot pinks, white umbrellas, and a first-come table — no shuttle vans on South Harbor Road.
Dry Provençal / seaside North Fork — early-harvest, stainless, pale pink–salmon; drink young. ~5,000 cases, often sold out by fall
Pet friendlyDate night
What to pour
Merlot rosés (clones 181, 3, 314, Sauvage, Sirène); Jolie (Cabernet Franc); Chloe (SB); sparkling rosés
In the glass. Rosé only — Merlot clones, Cabernet Franc, Sauvignon Blanc; still and sparkling. Shop ~$38 still / $48 sparkling (2025)
At the table
In-house light fare (baguette + cheese, lobster-roll sliders, dessert). No outside food or party décor.
Outside
Pebbled courtyard garden, white umbrellas, historic barns (oldest 1749). Vineyard ~100 ft from a tidal inlet; garden is courtyard, not a bay deck
Music. No regular live-music program — ambient garden, not a concert stop
Good to know
Seasonal (closed winter). Max 8. Shuttle vans, party buses, limos, and sprinters prohibited — no South Harbor drop-off. FAQ hours can lag the visit page.
Getting here
Our partner can drive you to Croteaux Vineyards
A black-car SUV with a driver, door to door. Ask for a price and our black-car partner will come back to you — which also settles the one problem a tasting day cannot solve on its own, that somebody has to stay sober to drive.
