Connecticut Wineries
Connecticut's combination of climate, soil characteristics, and growing conditions as well as her moderating sea breezes and rich, glacial soils are a major part of the success of her local vineyards. Tour one or several vineyards participating in the Connect Wine Trail listed below. It's a great way to learn more about local CT wines and to have fun.
