Located in the Litchfield Hills about two hours from NYC, Winvian Farm is a quiet place surrounded by woods and lakes. Spanning 113 acres of fresh air surroundings and serene environment, Winvian Farm was built to help visitors relax and indulge their senses with the help of warmth and treats that come in the form of grand cottages, a spa and mouthwatering cuisine.

The History

Behind this estate lies the story of many families who have lived and sustained themselves through all kinds of fruits, vegetables, poultry and livestock that thrived there. Once called the Bird Estate, the place had already been an establishment for lodgers in the past. It wasn’t until 1948 when the Smith family bought the property and named it Winvian – a combination of the names of Winthrop Smith and his wife, Vivian Smith.

Winvian Farm Guest Cottages

Follow the edges of the forest to find eighteen completely unique cottages and a suite that guests can opt to stay in. While all cottages are nestled within woodlands and meadows, each one has a different story to tell. After all, these cottages have been individually designed by fifteen different architects.

Dining at Winvian Farm

The 18th century dining room is the place for fresh and spontaneous farm-to-table dishes made of ingredients grown from Winvian’s own gardens.

The wine cellar has a collection of wines from over 13 countries and 37 regions, most of which are organic and sustainable.

The restaurant has earned a total of five AAA Diamonds and a Relais & Chateaux membership.

The Spa

Approximately 5,000 sq. ft. of the property is dedicated to pampering and relaxation. This is a popular luxury spa in the Litchfield Hills where there’s plenty of quiet space and sanctuary for anyone, whether they are looking for a massage or planning to take on some yoga or meditation.

Guests can take time to relax in the sun lit lounge, the sauna, or take a sip of organic tea by the circular stone fireplace. Alternatively, they can relax using the spa’s state of the art facilities. This is a great place for the rejuvenation of the body and spirit.
