What a great weekend for the Wallingford Historic Preservation Trust! Yesterday, Jerry Farrell hosted a wine event at his home with Sommelier, Paul Kozolis. The wine was generously donated by Gouveia Vineyards https://www.gouveiavineyards.com/ and Paradise Hills https://www.paradisehillsvineyard.com/ Both Jim Gatcomb of Gouveia Vineyards and Rich Ruggiero of Paradise Hills spoke about their journey in the wine making business. Sommelier was quite impressed with the wines grown and made in Wallingford, Connecticut!
Our delicious food was provided by LeJardin https://lejardin.cafe and Six One Nine Supper Club https://sixoneninewlfd.com/ in Wallingford and Stellato's Deli https://stellatosdeli.com/ in North Haven. Jill DeChello of North Haven Magazine https://northhavenmagazinect.com/ took care of all the behind the scenes work!

A huge thank you to everyone who brought out their amazing vehicles, volunteered their time, and came out to support local history and our community.
