Sightseeing
Connecting the Groton side of Mystic with the Stonington side of Mystic is the famous drawbridge, built in 1922.
It is raised to allow boat traffic on a regular schedule at 40 min. past the hour from 7:40am!
With ice cream parlors ALL around I highly recommend timing the moment with ice cream and a good view!

For more than 170 years, this modest stone citadel — a lighthouse tower attached to a dwelling — has stood at the entrance to the harbor of Stonington, Connecticut’s only port facing on the Atlantic.
Visitors may climb the 29 circular steps and a short ladder to reach the top of the tower, which looks over three states.
Visitors may also enjoy picnics on the grassy lighthouse grounds, which face across Little Narragansett Bay toward Watch Hill and Napatree Point in Rhode Island. The grounds also play host to special events, such as the annual gala dinner dance, concerts, celebrations of holidays, and private weddings and other events. The perennial borders are maintained by the Stonington Garden Club.

The Captain Daniel Packer Inne was built on the Mystic River over 250 years ago. Square-rigger Captain Daniel Packer completed construction of the building bordering Water Street in 1756. From that time to the late 1900’s the property remained in the Packer family and their descendants, The Keelers. The Inne was restored in the 1980’s by Richard and Lulu Kiley, and remains in the family today.

With a preservationist’s bent and keen appreciation of our vineyard’s past, the goal has been to sustain, in contemporary function and fashion, the two foundations of the property’s place in Stonington’s history: coastal Connecticut farmland and a WWII-era private airport.
Indeed, our award-winning wines are a testament to the fact that the best results are achieved from the inherent quality and unique character of the soil and climate afforded to us by our home on the beautiful Connecticut shoreline.
