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.
Pick the car
The quieter ride of the two, and the one people picture when they book a black car.
Read this before you book the car
- Croteaux Vineyards publishes a no to buses and limousines. A private SUV dropping you at the door is usually a different matter, but ring the room before you book the car.
