About Aquila's Nest Vineyards
In the Press: Named Connecticut’s best winery by Tasting Table in its July 2026 feature on the best winery in every US state.
Aquila's Nest maps Newtown's sky: founders Ardian and Neviana Llomi, she an astrophysicist by training, named the estate's wines for constellations and myths, building a women-led, immigrant-founded winery whose hilltop event lawns became a Fairfield County phenomenon.
Star-named pours, food trucks and festival-scale weekends give the young estate outsized gravity. Connecticut wine's brightest new constellation.
The Llomis' constellation-named Newtown estate: astrophysicist-charted wines and event-lawn gravity.
