There’s nothing better than sitting with friends, overlooking the countryside or the coast, sipping a glass of one of Connecticut’s fine local wines. The Connecticut Wine Trail is made up of a unique collection of over 40 vineyards statewide, all with tasting rooms where visitors can sample their portfolio of wines. Many of the vineyards offer tours, tastings and fresh from the farm products. Visitors should call each winery for their schedule and reservation policy. And don’t forget to pick up your free CT Wine Passport at any winery. Collect stamps to win prizes too!
