12.5.21 unplanned stop but oh so worth it. Family owned on approximately 12 acres, with a very friendly Mike, who helped us taste and select a couple of bottles. We stayed and enjoyed our wine while chatting with him. Love finding local gems like this in CT. Support local businesses like this. Good wine and great service.

A recent October Sunday showed how much the Jerram Winery is expanding with live music, food trucks to feed locals or visiting wine tasters, and outdoor white tents plus fire pits for warmth. If you haven't been, it's a great time.

Enjoyable event at the winery on a warm May evening yesterday. Brought home a case of Seyval Blanc, Highland Reserve and S'il Vous Plait.

A fun time at Jerram's Winery this weekend with proprietor Dan, whose son joined us for a bit, too. Good conversation and fine wine. We chose the dry white and red to drink with our lively discussion - Seyval Blanc and Highland

My first visit there. It was a quick stop to see the place, bring a few wines home to try, and get an overall feel for the atmosphere. Very friendly and helpful person working, great decor and setting of the place. Brought a red and a white to bring home to try. The red was very smooth, no bitterness or two sweet. The Chardonnay to be tried still.

I stopped in here on a Sunday when they opened at 11am to enjoy a nice day outside with some good wine. There were plenty of tables outside and parking available to allow people to space themselves out well. The person inside doing tastings and selling the wine was very knowledgeable and friendly. He had great recommendations for dry red wine and even gave a small taste before we bought a bottle. The space was cute and clearly a well run family business. Also the bottles were extremely well priced, especially in comparison to other wineries and how expensive they can be.

I enjoy Jerram Winery every time I go. It is a little isolated, but just down the road is the cute town of New Hartford. The winery itself must be beautiful in the sun, although in the several visits I've had it happened to be overcast and rainy. Parking can be a little tricky on a busy day, but there is space to be had. The interior of the tasting room is warm with fun art on the walls, and the baristas are always friendly and eager to discuss their wines. Personally, my favorite is the Aurora - not only is the bottle beautiful (taste with the eyes first), but the wine itself is fruity

My wife and I have been going to this winery for 5 years now. From being 'noobs' to visiting 38 vineyards in 3 different states including Sonoma County.
The staff has been pleasant and things are even better when you get familiar with them.
Their wines are great for the most part, even though one should let the reds sit for a few weeks to enjoy them further.
If you have a genuine interest in wines, want to actually develop an understanding of how a small winery works, exploring and enhancing your tasting palate, this an few, (and I do mean few), other wineries will do it for you.

Jerram is a lovely winery in New Hartford. It is comprised of several buildings including one for wine making and a tasting room. The grounds are small, but beautiful. This winery feels much more quiet and peaceful as compared to some other wineries in the area. There are plenty of picnic tables and chairs outside, although there is limited seating inside the tasting room.
The tasting is a great value-- 6 tastings and an etched glass to take home all for $7. Unfortunately, the wine falls flat for me. They all taste a little unfinished to me. My favorite was a semi-sweet white called Aurora, although

Very quaint - a lovely place to sit and drink wine. I really enjoyed these wines and chatting with the owner. I even enjoyed the whites and I am generally not a white wine drinker. I will definitely be back to sit outside among the vines and have some wine (if you intend to sit & drink, bring a snack, they don't serve any but they do sell chocolate). They also have art from local artists hanging on the walls which is lovely (and for sale which is also cool).
The Nor'easter is a great table red - a good into wine for people that are iffy on wine (and it is good chilled as well)

Ok you must consider that I'm reviewing this as a Connecticut winery. Have a had better Italian, French, and California wines?Yes, but the atmosphere here was great. It's such a cute place, and I really enjoyed my tasting. We visited three different wineries on this particular day, and I think this one was probably my favorite overall.
This was our first stop on our Connecticut winery day tour (special thanks to my friend's BF for chauffeuring us around for the day). I knew I was going to love it pulling up. You drive down a long driveway through the vineyards, it's beautiful

My last stop here the wine didn't seem as appealing as my first stop. We did a tasting, grabbed a bottle and headed down the Road to CT Valley Winery which was excellent as always. Jerram is quiet and quaint. It can be a peaceful place to relax but the wine isn't going to hold up against most other CT wineries.

We tried this winery for the first time today. It's very small, tiny even, and very homey. You can park right next to the horse barn on the property and see the vines up close on the 38 acre property.
The wines are excellent; our favorite was the Aurora, light, a bit sweet and fresh. The wine servers (I suspect one was the owner) knew exactly what we wanted to taste after asking our preferences.
And a plus, their wines are moderately priced.
It's BYOC (crackers). Thought they have locally made chocolates for purchase and pairing. A neat touch is the chocolates are made using their wines

Not the best local wines I've had but Jerram is a nice spot for an afternoon tasting in a lovely rural area. A tasting of 6 wines is $7; nothing really stood out as especially unique, although the Seyval Blanc is enjoyable as a crisp, refreshing summer wine. If I wasn't in a rush, I would have certainly split a bottle with my drinking companions while lazing out on Jerram's patio.

Ok. so the wine isn't the best....their Seyval Blanc is my favorite of the bunch. BUT, with that said...I went a few years back and there is a HUGE IMPROVEMENT from then...so that's the 3 star.
As for the grounds itself...it's right out of a fairytale picture book and the girls in the tasting room were super friendly. it's a quick stop and one worth going to....if even to just sit outside and picnic.

The summer of 2013 is our summer to visit as many wineries on the CT wine trail as we can. After a disappointing stop at Rosedale Farms, we drove over to the Jerram winery and were pleasantly surprised. The grounds are lovely and they have set up a picnicking area for those who bring a lunch.
Inside, I thought it was nice to be able to talk with the owner/winemaker who started making wine 38 years ago. He gave us a bit of his history and the back-story of the property and the evolution of his hobby into his full-time passion.
The tasting room was welcoming and fancifully decorated with various

As part of our attempt to complete the 2013 Connecticut Wine Trail - this was the second vineyard we visited during "Round 2".
As we drove to Jerram Winery (which by the way is a gorgeous and scenic drive) - I checked the Yelp reviews and although there were no recent reviews I was still a bit wary of what to expect.
However, I will say that after our visit the reviews definitely did not match the experience Mark and I had. The owner of Jerram Winery (who was also our host) actually stared the vineyard in the 1980's as a hobby and as the years have gone by the vineyard has

Very pleasant experience, the owner is friendly and helpful. He gave us a history of the vineyard, which was great to hear. All of the wines are very good.
I would highly recommend visiting this winery, it is a little place but a great find and you will really enjoy your experience and the wine is very well priced.

I really enjoyed my visit to Jerram. The couple doing the tasting were absolutely adorable. For $6, we got 6 samples of wine.
Most of the wine I tried was kind of funky (and not in a good way). However, I did buy a bottle of their Aurora, which was absolutely delicious. I really liked the atmosphere here... you're basically doing a tasting on a farm, so it's quaint and cozy.

This was my least favorite of the four local wineries I visited. In my opinion it was very 'eh'.
The owner was cordial yet dry, and coincidentally, so was his wine. I'm not such a fan of dry wines myself, but Husband was happier with the sampling than I was. I almost got the feeling that the owner didn't really want us there sampling his wine. Maybe he felt our novice palates couldn't comprehend the complexities of his masterpieces. Maybe we were having too much fun. Because wine tasting is a serious matter, you know. Like a funeral. No casual conversation, no
