R•Dee Winery is a family-owned, grape-to-glass winery rooted in tradition and inspired by dreams. We carefully source grapes from the regions that grow them best, crafting wines that celebrate both place and memory. Our grandfather, Richard Dee, taught us to put family first and to always chase what you love. He sparked our passion for winemaking - creating countless joyful moments around the table - and continues to inspire everything we do. One day, we hope to grow our own vineyard here in Connecticut and carry on his legacy. Until then, we invite you to pour a glass with us and create your own story.
Every detail of our winery was designed and built by hand with the help of family. From staining the ceiling and laying the floors to building the bar and adding thoughtful touches throughout the tasting room, The McAuliffe family poured their heart into every corner. The result is a warm, welcoming space where tradition meets romance—perfect for sharing wine, laughter, and conversation with the people who matter most. At R•Dee Winery, we want you to feel right at home.
At R•Dee Winery, every glass tells a story. We partner with small, family-owned farms and vineyards, carefully sourcing our grapes from regions known for producing the finest fruit—including the Finger Lakes of New York, the sun-kissed vineyards of California, and the lush valleys of South Africa.
Guests can enjoy their favorites by the glass - whether a classic 6 oz. pour or a generous 9 oz. "Heavy Pour" - or by the bottle for in-house enjoyment.
For those who love to explore, our Wine Flights are the perfect way to sample and savor a variety of styles.
Discover the perfect pour at R•Dee Winery. From bold reds and refreshing rosés to crisp whites and handcrafted seasonal sangrias brimming with fresh flavor, there’s always something new waiting to be discovered. Stop in, sip, and see what’s on our menu today!
Cool down with our fan-favorite wine slushies—always rotating and always fresh. Each batch is crafted with R•Dee Winery wines, real fruit, and pure juices, never artificial colors or dyes.

R•Dee Winery is owned by Michele and Mark McAuliffe. Michele grew up here in Enfield, CT and graduated from Fermi High School. Mark grew up outside Philadelphia. We graduated from Ithaca College in New York with our doctorates in Physical Therapy and currently work in the local area during the week. We loved that we were able to go to school among the vineyards and wineries of the Finger Lakes Region. We were married here in town and reside in Enfield with our three boys!
We are blessed to be able to be part of an amazing community here in Enfield and here within Connecticut and love giving back! We have been able to donate to multiple local charity events, donations in support of the St. Bernard’s School Golf Tournament, donations and pouring at wine tasting event to support Education Resources for Children (ERfC), donations for support of Enfield Child Developmental Center and completing our yearly toy drive to support the children at Connecticut Children’s Medical Center each December.
