Bucks Grill Rose Orchards

Love this place. It's got a nice selection of indoor and outdoor seating.Great ambiance! Wine and food offerings pair well together! Service was good.

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!

This is a great spot to entertain the kids. Play at the park up the road, pick your own fruits, feed the animals, ride and lasso the cow, and enjoy lunch. All of us were pleasantly surprised by our lunch and I promise you won't find a better buy! The creamery attached is always great and serving sizes are big!

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!
