Boston Winery

What a wonderful place. One minute I was in Dorchester, the next thing I know, I felt like I was transported into what felt like a centuries old winery in the middle of the Italian countryside. An eclectic mix of fieldstone and brick walls accentuated by the occasional wrought iron fixture made for a welcoming entrance into a facility surrounded by all the trappings of a modern facility with all the charm and character of a much older winery.
Oh, and did I mention that the two wines I sampled were exceptional… Gracie!

I didn’t do a full tasting or tour, but stopped by while I was in the area. I can say for certain that I’ll be back!
The guys who are running this place are down to earth, helpful, and love what they do. They took the time to help me pick out a great selection of wines as they were setting up for a private event, and they still gave me their full attention.
Thanks — I’ll be back soon!

I went here about a month ago for their yoga/​wine tasting event, which right off the bat gives them 5 stars. What a cool, unusual event!
Although doing yoga on the hard, dirty, cement floor was a bit gross (and the cheese smell kept hitting our noses), the class was great and it was a cool environment.
The after-​class wine tasting was great — I tried 3 wines and my favorite was the first. I think it’s their special blend (I can’t remember the name)! The homemade pizzas were FANTASTIC and I wish they’d had more!
The private tour of the barrels was very interesting and the staff is all so knowledgeable and friendly. I definitely look forward to going back and trying more wine!

Boston Winery has wine tasting every Saturday. Both my friend and I are wine lovers, so we figured — what better thing to do in this dreadful winter?
For $ 10 per person, you get 3 chips, each can be traded for a glass of wine. Staff were all very friendly. Although I like wine, I am by no means an expert. So I appreciated it when the bartenders made recommendations. There were also small, thin crusted, pizza to snack on.
The venue had wooden tables and was decorated with Christmas lights and barrels. The dim lighting and ambiance made it the perfect setting for a date or hanging out. I imagine it would be an excellent party/​reception venue as well.
We were also given a tour in the back of the winery. Our tour guide was very knowledgable and acquainted us with their wine making process. They don’t have a vineyard — they get their grapes mostly from California. The winery is quite small, so don’t expect anything grand. This is not Napa valley.
Overall I really enjoyed my visit here! I found a wine that I liked that I would never have discovered otherwise. I even picked up a bottle to bring home. I would definitely recommend all wine enthusiasts to check this place out!
Note: No need to make a reservation unless you come in a group larger than 10.

Everyone was nice and helpful. We met the owner and got a personal tour by him! He was so sweet. We even got a little extra taste of wine. There was also pizza which was yummy! Highly recommended. Wine was delicious. I ended up leaving with 6 bottles.

Quaint. Hip. Local. Small family winery with focus on non-​preserved wine sold white label to local restaurants and home wine enthusiasts. Took the tour which is a one room overview of the wine making process and history of the winery (since 2006). Tastings $ 10/​head and includes slides of pizza from local kitchen area beside bar. A good excursion and alternative to the 20something beer brawls at Sam Adams in seaport.

One of my all time favorites — mostly during the colder times of the year (which I dread thinking about right now in the middle of this beautiful summer! Cringe!
#Not ABigFanOfWinter). The wine is definitely good. One has to give credit to the management for taking such good care of this unique set up and the fact it is so close to the city. And Kudos to the staff as well. Some of the best bar tenders and waiting staff I have seen in the city (and really brilliant for Dot!)
I have been here several times with coworkers for holiday parties and with a bunch of friends for special events. It is recommended to call and check before hand because there is almost always an event going on.
I recommend going here for some fun wine tasting and buy some wine that you like and then hop on to Venezia next door for some good food and some more drinks. And remember — always get a cab or have a Designated Driver tag along! Again — always call before going to make sure they don’t have an event going on.

Make sure you call first! We got there 5:00, but they were closing early for a wedding. :(

Everyone here is very friendly and ready to talk wine. Not only it it a great party venue and fun place for private events, but you can enjoy a quiet tasting if you come here early enough. A welcoming spot if you want to just sit and enjoy a glass (or more!) of wine.
Rumor has it that they will open soon on Sundays (maybe other days or longer hours too) and have outdoor seating for the summer.

SO great! I never knew this place existed but was invited to a bridal shower there this past weekend. It was an amazing experience– the staff was incredibly knowledgeable and personable and the wine was just fantastic. They cater from Venezia next door and the staff went above and beyond to make sure I had something to eat (gluten allergy) and the food was so amazing that we’re going to Venezia to eat next weekend. I’m organizing a family event to return to the winery. I can’t say enough– it was an incredible experience.

Came here over the summer for a tour, tasting, and pizza (thanks LivingSocial!). I had a really good experience. My expectations weren’t very high but this place was super warm and friendly and the owner was hilarious. There’s really only one room you’re «touring» but you get to hang around and ask questions if you’re really curious about wine. For the price, it’s totally worth it.
I’ll probably come back to check out their selection of wine. Come, hang out, drink some wine, and get to know the people here. It’s a good time.

Loved this place! We came here with low expectations and were gladly pleased with our experience. A hidden gem and definitely would come back the next time I’m in Boston. We took advantage of two wine tastings but really ended with a three tasting experience. The wine was delicious and a very informative tour. Definitely recommend!

Who knew this was even in Boston? I didn’t, and have been here for years– but it is here and it is a fun little activity to do.
I went one saturday with the boy, we got there for the last tasting, probably was around 5pm (maybe 6, not sure). There were two other couples already in the back where the tasting happens. The staff was really laid back and friendly. It was $ 10 a person, and you get 3 tasting chips.
The tasting was really nice, the wine was good, and the staff was very knowledgable about their wine. It seems to be a family thing.
They showed us the barrels of grapes that were fermenting (or whatever they do in-​between being grapes and wine) They really explained the whole process, I had a god time!
They brought us out a pizza to snack on while we tasted which was a pleasant surprise.

Went here on a Saturday recently for a tour and wine tasting and had a great time. The wines were delicious, and the tour guide was super informative. It’s $ 10 for the tour/​tasting, but if you buy a bottle the fee is waived.
This place is a total hidden gem, and I definitely will be back!

Went for a graduation party and the wine was perfect and the pizza was ridiculous. Apparently the own taught the guy who started Berrtucci’s how to make pizza.

Holy crap! What a find!
Where has this place been (well, apparently it has been here, I just didn’t know)
I was down checking out the Hall across the parking lot for a fundraising event, and when I turned around, I was like WOW, a winery. In boston. Sweet!
So I stopped in, on a weekday. no tastings, tours or anything going on. I looked in the store, walked around. and a nice gentleman came out. he was the owner. Told me a little about the history, showed me around a little, told me what they do (including winemaking — which is SO COOL, but well, lets face it, where am I going to store 288 bottles of wine — and I don’t drink THAT much)
So they have a nice selection of wines, at good prices, and good blend
I got a white merlot, which I have never seen. Excited to try it, had not yet
Also got a Meritage, and WOW. unbelievable fast, nice and smooth, not to dry, and lasting flavor. I was FLOORED. Second best red wine I have ever had (and if you take into cost, the best, since the other one is $ 200+/bottle)
anyone that likes wine MUST check this place out. it is barely in Boston, on the Dorchester/​Quincy line — but also right on the water. Great wine, nice people, and local is always good!

Went to a recent dinner at the winery featuring wine paired with 4 courses. The food was pretty good, but the high point of the evening was the wine and the hospitality. Thoroughly enjoyed each of the wines and the descriptions provided by the sommelier. Very entertaining and insightful.
We were also allowed to take a tour of the winery and meet the wine makers who were more than eager to discuss the process and wine in general. For those of you interested in the wine making process, it’s certainly worth checking out their events and spending some time at the winery. Nice people, great product.

What a great hidden gem this is! I guess technically it is in Boston but it lies on the Boston border of Dorchester and Quincy.
For $ 10 you get a tasting of 3 full glasses of wine as well as a very educational experience (When you pruchase 2 bottles your tasting is free). Out of the 3 I tried the Muscat was my favorite. They told me that they get most of their grapes from California through brokers and the whole wine making process is on site. They even gave us a tour of their entire facilities.
The price of their bottles are very reasonable, from about $ 18 — 22. They will even let you buy a barrell of wine and rebrand the bottles yourselves as you can take part in the wine making. Very cool spot.

This place is great! I took my mom who has been to wineries all over the country and we both agreed that the 10 dollar fee for the wine tasting and tour was real a steal. We got 3 full glasses of awesome wine followed by a very friendly tour and we got to keep the wine glass. The grapes are from shipped in from Napa or Tuscany, or wherever you want, then You stomp, You bottle, You label and You enjoy.
The deal with this place is that you fall in love with the wine and the experience, then you figure out how to get in on the action by making your own wine. It seems expensive at first, but it works out to be only 12 bucks a bottle for some really nice, high quality stuff.
I’ll be stomping grapes in no time.

Are you looking to go for a wine tasting without driving hours out of the city and don’t mind that there aren’t grapevines in the yard? This is the place to check out!
I saw it on TV once and had a mental note to go. The building that houses the winery is something you would expect in Tuscany, beaming with history and old charm. Little will you remember that you are in Dorchester.
The owner Bruno, straight from Italy, gave a thorough review of all the wines and the making that happens right at the facility. The grapes are all flown in from CA and processed the same way in there as if they were home grown. They age the wine in barrels there until they are ready for bottling.
The tasting with sommelier Sam was hands on. We received a plate of cheese and pepperoni to taste in conjunction with the wines to bring out the flavors. All the wines we tried were fantastic. I loved the Muscat Cannelli and the Super Tuscan. We bought a bottle of both. I enjoyed the Cannelli on a lazy weekend afternoon and will be going back for more.
The charge for the tasting is $ 10 a person, but if you buy a bottle it is waived. Bottle prices range from high teens-​$ 20’s. The wines are very high quality and worth the prices. Many have won awards. The tasting times are limited, I think just Saturdays from 1 – 4. The visit was a mini wine education and the tastings were plentiful. Put this place on your weekend agenda!
