Hardwick Vineyard & Winery is a winery that combines old-school New England charm with contemporary winemaking. It’s stationed within a fully refurbished 18th-century mansion close to the Quabbin Reservoir. The land was bought and restored in the latter part of the 1990s, adding a 5,000 square-foot timber frame barn to it.

They specialize in white, red, and pink wine, but they also have flavorful fruit options for those who have a palate for sweeter wines. Most of their in-house wines go very well with foods like meat, seafood, and cheese—but their sweeter, fruitier wines allow for a more relaxed experience.
