I call this place "Sweet Baby Ray's" because the "Sauce is the Boss." I enjoyed a deep red cabernet sauvignon with top notes of cherry, oak, wine, and middle notes of black opium, bottom notes too were there. Overall good experience. Will return and repeat. I left feeling satisifed.

The place is very cool. But the bathroom situation is not you have to go outside to get to the bathrooms. I went one night it was pouring rain. Its a great place to go in the summertime.

Went here for a sushi night and it was a great experience. Family owned, and they were wonderful. Excellent wines, will be back.

Found this place by mistake. We go to all the wineries in the area. Never knew it existed. Fabulous experience right from the start. Wines are delicious and the owners and staff are phenomenal. The first Wednesday of every month they host open mic night. So much fun. Great atmosphere. If you haven't tried it yet, it's worth the trip. Bring a few friends and have a great time. We always do.

Great place to dry different wines with options for everybody. You choose your wine as you're coming in and then you can pick from a couple different seating areas (including a patio), so it'd be a fun date spot or for bringing friends/family. They've got a good setup for live music, too.

My friend and my husband visited this winery on Saturday and we are so happy that we did! It was such a cute winery, much bigger than it looks. Their wine was delicious! I tend to drink wine on the sweeter side but their Rosé and whites were very good, not too sweet and not too dry. My husband loved their reds. We had a great time and the owners were so knowledgeable and friendly! Can’t wait to go back!

Love this place. Excellent date place or even an event space, one of the coolest places I've seen in CT. There's live music regularly. I spoke to the owner at the bar for quite a while. She is a head wine maker in another location too, she knows her stuff and is really nice too. Can't wait to go back!!!

Great place to grab a drink with friends. They have a room with lots of tables and a band plays some nights. Staff is very friendly.

The food was delicious, great service. Located in the center of Branford and I would highly recommend this new restaurant definitely would go back.

Small batch is a cozy, clean, and charming establishment. I’ve been gifted and have gifted some of their wines to and from family and it’s quality as strong as the business is small. Plus their labels are always super unique. A delightful experience overall, I’ll definitely be giving them more business.
Great wines and even better service. Love the outdoor area, surrounded by flowers and beautiful murals.The inside is cozy with low warm lighting. Will totally be returning.

I had a wonderful Chardonay here on a welcoming summer night with friends. I consider it a gem. But I won't keep it a secret. This is a great stop along the trail and there is a lot of quick delivery options for tasty local food as well.

Owners Mike Annatone and Kristen Parsons have hit the spot! Their wine is the best in the area and their labels are unique as they tell their story, and they offer an extensive selection. The owners mingle with guests and spend time sharing the history of their wines. Authentically decorated and very cozy. Bring your own food or try the small snack bites. There is nothing like a good wine, charcuterie board, relaxing and listening to great music. My favorites to date are Late for Dinner Zin and San Joaquin Cuvee.

Excellent wine selection. I had tge tasting of 5 wines for $15. We went on a a Saturday, good crowd but not of places to sit. Live music was very good. They have live music on Fridays and Saturdays. We will be back. Bring your own food.

I wish I could tell you about the wine, but I can't. We visited this place recently on a Saturday but never got to try the wine. Upon arrival we were excited by the cute outdoor area which wasn't very busy, just a few parties seated at tables and three employees placing what looked like table readers on other tables. We went inside to the tasting room so we could order and waited for someone to come help us. From there we waited and waited and waited some more. No one ever came to assist us even though we made eye contact several times with employees outside. After waiting almost 10 minutes we decided to leave. While walking out and back to our car we were finally greated but still not offered assistance. So, with that being said we got in our car and left; definitely not going to go again!
