Introduction to Connecticut Wine

Connecticut is a state that is often overlooked when it comes to wine production, but this East Coast gem has a rich history of winemaking dating back to the 1600s. In fact, the first grapevines were planted in the early 17th century by European settlers who brought their own viticultural traditions with them.

Today, Connecticut is home to over 20 wineries and vineyards that offer wine tastings, tours, and educational programs for visitors of all ages.
