Let the vineyards on this wine trail put you and your significant other in a romantic mood

What could be more romantic than visiting a gorgeous vineyard, sipping wine from a patio in the summer or by a cozy fire in winter? Why, visiting more than one vineyard, of course! Almost two dozen wineries and vineyards are part of the Connecticut Wine Trail, which meanders through some of the state’s most breathtaking places. Enjoy a wine tasting at a winery overlooking the hills, or near the coast. Sip a selection of wines in a tasting room created from a restored barn, with original beams. Take a picnic lunch out onto an expansive lawn and just relax in each other’s company. Some wineries have live music, trivia and comedy nights and classes to show you how to pair wines with chocolate. (Now that is truly romantic!)
