Aquila's Nest Vineyards

The beautiful 41-acre experience-focused winery is the brainchild of enophiles, Neviana Zhgaba and Ardian Llomi, who purchased the former 200-year-old farm in 2016. Drawing on their Mediterranean heritage, the Aquila’s Nest Vineyard experience intermingles mythology, art and wine to create a story that will define the guest experience from the moment one enters the driveway, to the first peak of the Mediterranean statues in front the winery entrance. 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. All our wines are branded with the image of a constellation, the name of a woman drawn from an ancient Mediterranean myth, the inscription of a wisdom Latin phrase translated in English in the back of the label, as well as a unique wine cup design of the story that brings all these elements together. Our planted vines span across 10 acres of sun kissed vineyards where in 2019 we enjoyed our first harvest, now offering 9 wines seasonally. Empowered Women, Empower Women. That's what we stand for at Aquila's Nest. After all, 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. Since opening in October 2020, Aquila’s Nest has become a community hub, hosting live music, dueling pianos, tribute shows, comedy nights, murder mysteries, and craft workshops, complemented by gourmet food pairings such as artisanal cheeses, fine pastries, and locally made chocolates. Guests also enjoy signature sangrias, wine slushies—including shareable slushy towers—and seasonal offerings. Recognized as Best Vineyard in Connecticut Winner & Finalist since 2022 by Connecticut Magazine, SBA Connecticut Manufacturer of the Year, one of America’s Top 70 Small Businesses, and proudly Climate Neutral Certified, the vineyard is dedicated to sustainability while promoting women- and minority-owned local businesses.
