Aquila’s Nest Vineyards

Aquila’s Nest Vineyards has earned its reputation as a benchmark for the region in Fairfield County / Western CT — Connecticut's fastest-growing wine destination. Set in Connecticut, the winery combines estate-grown character with a visitor experience that makes wine approachable for newcomers and satisfying for serious tasters.

The wines lean on Cabernet Franc and Chardonnay — a smart choice given Connecticut's cool New England growing season. In the glass, these varietals deliver approachable character that rewards repeat visits and careful attention, the kind of quality that has helped Connecticut wineries build a following well beyond state lines.

Visiting Aquila’s Nest Vineyards means spending time with a team that genuinely cares about what's in the bottle and who's tasting it. The tasting room offers estate tastings by appointment and weekend walk-in flights, and the property itself — a family-owned property with deep agricultural roots — provides the setting that makes a wine-country day trip feel worthwhile.
