Where it all began...

​

Aquila’s Nest Vineyards is a climate neutral, experience-focused vineyard and event venue, offering a selection of the finest Connecticut wines, perched high on a hill top with sweeping views of rolling vineyards, and a spectacular sunset, located in a 40 acre estate in Sandy Hook - Newtown, CT, established in 2016 and opened to the public in 2020.

​

 

Aquila's Nest Vineyards stems from the love story of two engineers, Neviana Zhgaba and Ardian Llomi. Aquila's Nest's mission extends far beyond producing hand crafted wines that express the unique spirit of the land, vines and people as they seek to bring people together to enjoy and savor life through unique and immersive wine experiences, all while being a Climate Neutral Certified business!

​

 

Empowered Women, Empower Women. That's what we stand for at Aquila's Nest. Afterall, our wines are named after women from ancient Mediterranean history and mythology; diverse women of science, arts and sports are celebrated all over the interior décor of our winery; and we are proud to continuously partner with so many local women owned businesses.
