Connecticut Wine Trail

The Connecticut Wine Trail is a set of 15 state approved wineries located in the state of Connecticut. The wineries are divided into two groups of eight, the Western Trail and the Eastern Trail. The wineries comprising each group are "connected" by a route that is signed on major state highways. There is no signage connecting the two trails to each other. The roads used by the wine trail travel through some of the more scenic portions of the state. The Western Trail is mostly located in the Litchfield Hills region while the Eastern Trail is in the Southeastern and Quiet Corner regions. The wine trail is a major tourist attraction and is featured on most tour guides for Connecticut. The wine trail was established in 1988.
