About Paradise Hills Vineyard
Paradise Hills pours Wallingford's Tuscan daydream: the Ruggiero family's estate frames vineyard rows with Italianate architecture and terrace views, serving estate-grown wines with old-family recipes of hospitality a short hop from the Gouveia hilltop. Weekend live music fills the terraces without overwhelming them, and the estate's proximity to Gouveia's hilltop makes Wallingford a genuine two-stop afternoon on the trail.
Live-music weekends and generous terraces made it central Connecticut's occasion stop. Wallingford, via Tuscany.
