Established in 1983, Chamard Vineyards, is one of the Connecticut Wine Trails founding fathers. Tucked between the Long Island Sound and the Connecticut River, Chamard enjoys a unique marine micro-climate ideal for growing European Vinifera vines such as Chardonnay, Riesling, Gewürztraminer, Cabernet Sauvignon, Cabernet Franc, Merlot and Pinot Noir. To produce “French Inspired Wines from the Connecticut Shoreline” has been Chamards mission from the start. As a farm, Chamard honors agriculture by partnering with fellow growers and producers to pair food with wine in celebration of Connecticut’s local gastronomy.

Thursdays are apparently less well attended that Friday or Saturday, which was wonderful. Our table for four chose the fireplace to the left of the front door, and we were totally satisfied with every part of our experience. The White we chose was crisp and terrific, and our meals were delicious. The only thing worth mentioning is that our meals could have used another 30 seconds in the microwave before delivery - better for us to wait for them to cool down, than to find things already cooled down.

Chamard is a special place. We feel so fortunate to have found this gem. I almost want to give a bad review so we can keep this amazing place to ourselves. The truth is that everything was great. It started with attentive friendly staff and on the spot service. As a vineyard, the wines were extremely good. We did two flights, one of white and one reds so we could do a sample of many wines. All were excellent. We settled on one of the combo blends with lunch (not available as a flight) and it was magnificent. We also brought home multiple bottles. For lunch we started with the Camembert en Croute and the Charcuterie which were both great. The croute is not to be missed. We also sampled the marinated olives and the mac and cheese. Highly recommend both. The pressed chicken, schnitzel and croquette madame were linch main courses and all were well prepared and delicious. Cappuccino and chocolate mousse plus an apple bake were dessert. Outstanding food, wine, and service in a beautiful setting even in winter. Do not miss this bistro

Very enjoyable lunch at Chamard Vineyards Winery Bistro: very nice table by the fireplace, great service and delicious food. We were a party of four and we were all really pleased with our lunches. The staff member who waited on us was excellent and it was so enjoyable to not be rushed.

This is a favorite restaurant of mine. The food is always perfect and delicious, I might see bluebirds or other birds of interest while looking out the window, and it is convenient to get to and meet friends. Not to mention the delicious wine and beautiful ambience! I usually do take home a bottle of my favorite stone cold white
