We were staying at Cozy Cottages and were offered free wine tasting as their guests. We were very happy we did the tasting. All the wines were really good. Our favorites were Happy Ending Rose’ and Chocolate Mousse. We bought a case (got 10% discount), not only for ourselves but also for Christmas gifts for our relatives. A small gift... More

My wife and I stayed in one of the cabins while in Vermont and it was a perfect location to enjoy the local spirits and not have to worry about driving. Both of the owners were very friendly and ensured that we had a pleasant experience with the wine and our stay.

I can't believe they are allowed to call themselves a winery! This is a joke right. The worst tasting product our party ever had. At the fact the owner was in the kitchen swatting flies all through out our stay makes me question their cleanliness

It is sad that I even need to respond to this review. This review was posted by a person that was staying in one of our cottages during Labor Day Weekend, but HAVE NEVER EVEN BEEN TO OUR WINERY NOR THE TASTING ROOM. The motorcycle group that this person is part of portrayed themselves as a family oriented, charitable and... More

How could I resist the free wine tasting while staying at Cozy Cottages. I loved the Boston Bull and was able to taste the Arctic Goose the morning after it was bottled. Enjoyed the wine with friends and at dinner. Definitely worth a visit in Brandon.

We ordered take out lunch for the office and it was first-rate! Their seafood is the best you can get in town! Fresh! The portions were generous and everyone raved about it. We will definitely order from them again!

A friend and I stopped in this evening to try a wine sample - we came home with two bottles. We got to meet the owner & one of the wine-makers which made the experience that much better. We'll certainly be back, but next time we will bring all our friends. They have an ah-mazing white called "Boson Bull" &... More

Loved going to Vermont and staying at Cozy Cottages. This is third time in three years and each year it keeps getting better and better. The owners are such great hosts and really make you feel welcome. Not to mention the wonderful wine that goes along with campfires.

We thoroughly enjoyed the 3 varieties (2 whites and a red) and brought several home to share with friends. Steve and Ursula take great pride in their vineyards, and if you stop by to taste their wine and shop... More

We stayed in Brandon for a weekend getaway. It is a nice, quaint New England town and Otter Valley Winery is definitely a “must do" while in Brandon. It is a small, family-owned winery. They just opened this year and have 3 great wines you can taste. Ursula was super friendly and very informative about grape growing and wine making... More
