It has tourist attractions such as the Watch Hill, Misquamicut Beach, and the Foxwoods and Mohegan Sun casinos. Built on the home site of Governor Samuel Ward of Rhode Island, the Langworthy farm was established over three decades ago.

Langworthy Farm Wine Tour
Wine Tasting
There is a varied collection of wines to choose from, and the glasses are complimentary to take them home. Langworthy has friendly staff who will accompany you and ensure you have a memorable visit. You can taste five different wines for $10. You also get to keep the glass as a souvenir. Just in case you want to have more than five different tastings, you can pay a small fee to taste other wines. Most of their bottles of wine are under $20, so you can buy that tasting you enjoyed so much.
Wine Tasting Room
The wine tasting takes place on the patio, affording you a nice view of your surroundings as you savor the various wines. Plates of cheese are also purchasable to accompany the wines. The pours for the tasting of each wine are generous and can even be split between two people. The staff is also on ground to provide descriptions for each wine you taste.
Vineyard Tour
Apart from the wine tasting, you also get a little tour of the whole vineyard on your visit. The owner of the vineyard, Joe, does a guided tour of the vineyard and winery where you get to hear about the different grapes planted and the process of planting and harvesting. You also get to hear about the history of each wine, alongside the procedures of making the wines. In addition, you get to learn various things, such as the crushing process and the aging of the wine. After the tour, you then get to taste the wines you have heard so much about. Tours take place on Saturdays and Sundays at 3 pm.
Events
Due to the bed and breakfast spot available alongside the winery, quite a few events are offered on the Langworthy facility. Here are different food festivals which you can enjoy while at Langworthy Farm Winery:
