I was curious to try the menu again after so many years. The custard was too heavy and sweet for me, but that goes for all custards everywhere. There is lots of parking, which is great. Within minutes, the line was nearly a dozen people of all ages! The server was quick and patient. The frozen yogurt was spot on. I had vanilla and strawberry swirl without any bells and whistles so I could actually taste the flavor. The outdoor eating is covered but very sunny and bright. It's nice to relax and watch the animals (goats, pigs) as well as see the food growing. There was even a plants for sale outdoors. I am curious to see what is inside. Next time!

Really enjoyed our lunch here today! I got a meatball sub and my husband got the grilled chicken ranch and bacon sandwich. The meatballs in the sub was moist and well-seasoned. And the Chicken Bacon ranch sandwich is a new fave. Oh and the zucchini fries is so good! We finished our meal with split frozen yogurt we got from the Creamery right next to the grill.

Rose Vineyards & Winery is a craft winery that opened in North Branford, Connecticut in October 2019. It was founded by husband and wife Jon and Ellen Rose with the help and assistance of their extended family. The Rose family is one of the oldest families in North Branford. Beginning in 1646, Robert and Marjorie Rose began working their land as a traditional New England farm with orchards and livestock. Today the farm is one of the oldest in the country that is continuously run by the same family. The farm now features a farm market building, a creamery that makes old-fashioned custard, Buck's Grill (offering breakfast and lunch), a bakery, and a maple syrup operation. For several years, members of the Rose family had an idea about opening a winery on the property. 12th generation family member Jon decided to make this idea a realty. Beginning in 2017, several members of the Rose family assisted in planting the vineyard while a winery building was built on the property by Al Rose Construction. Jon and Ellen run the new venture as co-owners and co-vintners. At Rose Vineyards, the staff focus on viticulture, enology and wine education using the best environments and sustainable practices while ensuring the highest quality. My family and I recently visited Rose Vineyards for the first time. This came just a couple of days after we visited Rose Orchards Farm to pick strawberries. We had heard several good things about the winery since it opened. The vineyards were beautiful and the new winery building was very impressive. In addition to the delicious wine, the building also has an on-site kitchen that prepares farm-to-table dishes. We saw several delicious charcuterie and mezze platters coming out of the kitchen during our visit. However, we were there for another culinary treat: PIZZA! In the warmer months, every Thursday night is "Pizza Night". We picked a table right outside on the patio next to the wood-burning oven. To drink, I ordered a glass of "Pinotage" while my wife ordered "Symphony". Both were excellent wines! For pizza, we all ordered and shared the "Pepperoni" (pepperoni, San Marzano tomatoes, mozzarella, basil, EVOO), "Truffle Burrata" (burrata, spinach, parmigiana reggiano, truffle pesto, EVOO), "Lobster" (lobster, ricotta, fresh mozzarella, tarragon, roasted tomatoes, garlic, pernod reduction, sarvecchio cheese), and the "Nutella" (nutella, strawberries, powdered sugar, toasted hazelnuts) for dessert. Every single pie was excellent!! Before leaving, I had a glass of their "Cabernet Sauvignon" which was very flavorful! Beautiful scenery, friendly staff, delicious wine and mouth-watering wood-fired pizza! We'll definitely be returning to Rose Vineyards!

It's not a summer night without getting some yummy ice cream/dessert from Rose's! I've been craving their blueberry pie alamode since last summer! The pie is so warm and yummy, and the ice cream is the creamiest soft serve I have ever had! The staff that run the shop are friendly and helpful with suggestions. You can sit indoors at the Cafe to eat or outside and bonus, go walk around and say hi to all the farm animals!

We had such a nice time at Rose Vineyards. We went for the first time and we will definitely be going again. When the weather permits, there's plenty of seating outside. If it's a rainy day, there's some seating inside but not as much as outside. The service was great, the atmosphere was fun, and the food was delicious! Definitely a good place to stop!

This is a small farm. I was there only for the ice cream. I liked the hot fudge with custard the most. Fudge was rich and heated up to the right temperature. Vanilla chocolate was creamy. Vanilla pumpkin yogurt was ok. They have a small grocery store attached. I didn't get veggies from there though.
