About The Vineyard at Hillyland
Hillyland grows Windham's history lesson: Geri and her husband farm an all-estate vineyard whose wines carry the names of local farms, each tasting a guided tour through the labels' namesakes, pure single varietals that show what Connecticut ground can do. Country-quiet grounds and owner-led warmth made it a passport-trail favorite. Every glass comes with a story.
No opening hours appear in the sources we checked, so confirm with the winery before travelling. The tasting room is listed as wheelchair accessible; ask the winery about specific access needs. Call ahead on (860) 786-7770 to confirm current hours and availability before making the drive.
