Kingdom of the Hawk Vineyard — Attraction in North Stonington

From the very first moment we stepped onto the grounds of Kingdom of the Hawk Vineyard, we knew it was something special. What truly made it unforgettable were the people behind it. Merrily and Michael, the incredible owners, welcomed us with such warmth and genuine care that we immediately felt like family. Their passion for what they’ve created shines through in every detail, and their kindness set the tone for our entire wedding experience.

Throughout the planning process and on the big day itself, we were constantly supported not only by Merrily but also by their amazing team, especially Mike and Eryn, who went above and beyond to make everything seamless. Their attention to detail, friendly demeanor, and willingness to help with anything we needed gave us such peace of mind and allowed us to be truly present for every moment. Our day of assistant, Robby, was helpful in making sure the day ran smoothly.

One of our favorite parts of the experience was the ability to visit the vineyard in the months leading up to the wedding. Sipping glasses of wine while walking the grounds, talking about our plans, and dreaming of the day to come. Those quiet, joyful moments made the whole journey even more special. Kingdom of the Hawk Vineyard will always hold a special place in our hearts. It wasn’t just a beautiful venue. It was made extraordinary by the people who brought it to life with such care, generosity, and love....

Kingdom of the Hawk is not only a beautiful, family-owned and operated venue—they truly make you feel like part of their family.

It wasn’t just the incredible wine, the stunning modern and timeless aesthetic, or the amazing views of the rolling hills—it was the people.

Merrily, Eryn, and Mike made us feel genuinely celebrated, and we’ll never forget the warmth and excitement they brought to our big day. They were just as thrilled as we were and made every interaction feel personal and meaningful.

Our guests couldn’t stop raving about the venue—peaceful and picturesque on the outside, breathtaking on the inside. Even with over 100 guests, it still felt intimate and full of charm.

Throughout the entire planning process, the team was incredibly responsive and helpful, always quick to answer questions and offer support. Their trust and enthusiasm for their preferred vendors gave us so much peace of mind and made everything run smoothly. We couldn’t have asked for a more perfect place—or better people—to celebrate...
