Our Vision
Updated: Jul 9

Ardian and Neviana both grew up in Albania, a country in the crossroads of Italian, Slavic, Turkish and Greek traditions. Ardian was raised in the Albanian countryside, where fruticulture and farming was part of everyday life. Throughout the period of the winemaking process, many families of the community would get together to taste the old wines, share winemaking best practices, bring up discussions from many other areas of life and talk about what they could do better as a community.
Even though we’ve been working in the industrial and technology space for over 10 years, it’s always been a dream of ours to own farmland, plant a vineyard, operate a small winery and embrace the farming lifestyle. After creating a family and having two young boys, we were then envisioning to build up something unique and of value for the Fairfield County community.
Aquila’s Nest Vineyards is an experience-focused, climate neutral certified winery and event venue providing visitors with immersive events that embrace each of the five senses, offering a selection of the finest Connecticut grown wines while connecting visitors to the breathtaking scenery of northern Fairfield County.
