Episode 3: Raylene Taskoski, Middle of the Vines Vineyard Tours

What if the perfect way to explore southeastern Connecticut’s vineyards began with a simple question: Why wait?

In this episode of Mystic Mash Podcast, we sit down with Raylene Taskoski, owner of Middle of the Vines Vineyard Tours, to hear how she turned her love of travel, local excursions, and bringing people together into a new Mystic-based business.

Middle of the Vines takes locals and visitors on relaxed, all-inclusive tours of southeastern Connecticut’s beautiful vineyards. With transportation, curated vineyard stops, tastings, and lunch included, guests can enjoy the scenery, discover local favorites, and connect with new people, without worrying about planning or driving.

Raylene also explains why the experience is about much more than wine. It’s about sharing the beauty of the region, supporting local businesses, introducing visitors to hidden gems, and giving people a chance to slow down and enjoy the moment.

This episode is hosted by Shareen Anderson.
