Wine lovers, the Connecticut Wine Trail is one of the fastest growing wine regions in the U.S. Twenty-six wineries span the state, but a handful are very near the Mohegan Sun and Foxwoods. Mystic seaport offers a glimpse of maritime ship-building and whaling in 1800s Connecticut. Essex Steam Train & Riverboat offers themed excursions year-round, including its popular Eagle Flyer bald eagle-spotting trip.
