Savor Modern American Cuisine at Harvest Wine Bar

Harvest Wine Bar represents a culmination of our family's decade-long journey in the culinary and hospitality industries. Our approach combines modern American cuisine with global influences while maintaining a steadfast commitment to sourcing ingredients from local and organic farms. We prioritize seasonal menus that evolve with available produce, ensuring freshness and quality in every dish. Our team of chefs, led by Executive Chef Nube Siguenza, integrates classical training with innovative techniques to create a dining experience that honors our Italian roots and Latin American heritage. Located in New Haven, we operate within a historic, temperature-controlled space designed to enhance wine storage and guest comfort.

The sibling founders personally curate ingredients, including grass-fed beef sourced directly from Sweet Tree Farms. Our partnership with local mushroom purveyors and regional farmers markets ensures authenticity in our offerings. Recognized as one of the Gold Coast's premier dining destinations, we maintain a focus on creating an inclusive environment where exceptional cuisine and attentive service converge. Through sister restaurants in Fairfield, New Canaan, and Darien, we continue to expand our vision of farm-to-fork dining.

Ate sand from the seafood pasta, the chef told me even if he prepares for me another plate Its gonna be the same, because its normal for fresh clams. Really? I grew up in Japan, I eat seafood everyday, and you are telling me I dont know about seafood?

Inspiring food! Fine shrimps, superb octopus and grilled calamari. The steak was cooked perfectly, it literally melted in my mouth. And the tartares are just simply delicious! Great wine selection: the Tuesday half price bottles special made our dinner smooth and fun.
Exceptional and respectful service, quick and caring. I love the atmosphere, mood, and music that this restaurant have to offer. A must try place when you're visiting Greenwich!
