What a lovely place to spend an afternoon :-). Quiet and cozy. Lots of tables and adirondack chairs looking over the vineyards. The Five Dogs and Marquette wines were our favorite!

A beautiful outdoor space and great wine! The white and red fizz and the frose we're standouts. A perfect place for a birthday, bachelorette, date day, or a chill hang!

Had the most pleasant experience at Westport Vineyards! We knew the tasting room wasnt available due to Covid, however, Genevieve graciously opened the door and immediately made us feel welcome. Her descriptions of the wines and their backgrounds were informative and almost story like. We each were able to enjoy a glass of our choice outside, overlooking the vineyards, and the wines we chose did NOT disappoint! Highly recommend this 30 year old family vineyard and their excellent wine!
