If you ask me, wineries are like the Disneyland of adulthood. On a nice warm day you can walk along the rows, sip wine, and chat with friends or loved ones. Or if wine is a solo adventure for you, just sit back and read a book. However you enjoy your trip, do it at one of these gorgeous Connecticut locations.
1. Chamard Vineyards (Clinton)
This place is a collection of land tucked at the end of a winding road.
Enjoy the wine or stop by the bistro for a full meal.

Catch a peak of the barrels on your walkthrough for a secret look into wine making and enjoy the view.
You'll love the laid-back atmosphere around the picnic tables.

Enjoy drinks outside without risking the burn.
This place has a nice size selection and excellent service.

These are some of the best views around, and you're welcome to set up lawn chairs.
