The Rising Popularity of the CT Wine Trail

by

With nearly 20,000 Facebook followers, the Connecticut Wine Trail has blossomed into a local summer tradition. Each and every summer the vineyards become increasingly popular, and the need to fill ones’ “CT Wine Trail Passport” becomes more of a goal. Their Facebook page offers updates on new wines, upcoming events, and up-to-date news involving the wine trail.

Finally, by using the #ctwinetrail on Instagram, you can follow all of the happenings at all 33 of the vineyards. Instagram is perhaps the most convienent way for you to stay on top of what is happening on the Connecticut Wine Trail. Not only can you see photos and video

s that each of the vineyards posted, but you can also see photos and videos that all of the visitors have posted. These photos tend to give you a better understand of the atmosphere at each of the vineyards because they are simply from a visitors perspective, and not “staged” photos that the vineyards choose to share with their followers. Instagram offers an accurate portrayal of the day to day happenings at each of the establishments.

The good, the bad, and the ugly are all on display on Instagram, and if you want to get a true sense of what the average visitor to each of the vineyards experiences, then Instagram is one of the best platforms.

Whether or not you are a local planning your next stop on the CT Wine trail, or a tourist looking to learn about the wine trail, and map out your journey, social media is the best way for you to hear about each of the vineyards from an unbiased, “average Joe” perspective, and can often give you as much, or more information than the website itself.
