Gougér Cellars focuses exclusively on still red wines, including Pinot Noir, Cabernet Sauvignon, Malbec, Petite Sirah, Sangiovese, Syrah, and Zinfandel. The tasting room occupies the historic Ridgefield Firehouse and has a rustic, relaxed setting. Winemaker-owner Gary Gougér’s hands-on approach gives the small, family-run operation a personal feel. Food service includes closeout offerings such as New York sausages and Reubens, and the winery is currently in retirement closeout.
