Alighting In A New Winery

The endeavors of artists and oenophiles come together at Aquila’s Nest Vineyards, Fairfield County’s newest winery. For the traveler in search of Aquila’s Nest Vineyards, it is easy to bypass this destination while traveling down Pole Bridge Road in Sandy Hook. A small sign points to an inconspicuous driveway, with nary a vine in sight.
But after you circumnavigate the steep gravel road that curves severely during its ascent, the glory of Aquila’s Nest become apparent. Situated on a hilltop surrounded by extraordinary vistas, the 41-acre property offers a majestic vineyard worthy of Napa Valley and a boldly designed event space that looks like a sublime union of old-school Quonset hut reimagined through a Frank Gehry-worthy spectrum.
