Yankee Cider Company in East Haddam CT; when visiting make sure to visit Two Wrasslin' Cats which is down the street.

The lower CT River Valley is just minutes off I-95 and is chock full of vacation destinations.
As I have previously mentioned the CT River is one of the few major rivers that does not have a developed port @ its mouth; consequently much of the area is very "as is" from 100-150 years ago.
