From your perch atop an elevated deck, you spy row upon row of grapevines, stretching as far back as your eyes can see and seemingly calling you to come closer and explore. It’s summertime at Langworthy Farm and the perfect time to swing through for a bit of wine after a trip to Misquamicut or another of the nearby beaches. There’s not much that is as relaxing and refreshing as indulging in a cold glass of white, with friends, as the sun warms your face.
The winery has been open since 2004 after the owners of Langworthy Farm Bed and Breakfast noticed that the farm’s close proximity to the ocean created an ideal grape growing environment. Owners Joe and Gail Sharry began experimenting with wine making as they waited to receive their operational license. In spring of 2005, they opened to the public for tastings; in 2006, their winery and tasting room opened. The winery is now open for tastings everyday from noon-5pm through Labor Day. The cost is $7-10 (depending on the size of the glass you choose), which buys you a sampling of five wines and the souvenir stemwear.
Stop by on August 18 and 19 for an Art Festival on the Lawn, featuring work for sale by over 10 area artists belonging to the Westerly Cooperative Art Gallery. This is the first time that the winery is hosting this event and Joe tells me it’s sure to be an enjoyable day for all involved. “Guests can feel free to purchase a bottle of wine and take it outside to enjoy,” he says. We say, that certainly makes for a luxuriously delicious weekend.
