WALLINGFORD, Conn. — The Connecticut Wine Trail, it’s not just for sipping during the Summer. This year, 14 vineyards across the state are working to get the word out that they are open to visitors during the colder months.
Rich Ruggiero, the owner of Paradise Hills Vineyard and Winery in Wallingford said, “It’s a great program that our association puts on during the winter months.”
Visitors are encouraged to pick up a CT Winter Wine Trail Passport – all the vineyards offer them – and get a stamp at each vineyard they visit.
Sarah Bishop Dellaventura, from Bishops Orchards, who are known for an array of fruit wines, said “this is just to keep our names out there, let people know they can get a glass of wine, relax and enjoy themselves.”
Ruggiero added, “come in and do a tasting, you get your passport stamped, it’s a really good thing.”
