This March Savor the Flavor. 

 Savor the flavor — and repeat!

You could win this March during the 🍽️ 2nd Annual Winsted Restaurant Week! It’s your chance to try as many local restaurants as your schedule allows, all featuring special menus and reduced prices.

Have you ever passed a restaurant and thought, “I’ve been meaning to try that!” Now’s the perfect opportunity to discover something new — or revisit an old favorite — without stretching your budget.

This 2nd annual celebration is presented in collaboration with the Winchester Economic Development Commission and Friends of Main Street.

While you’re here, stroll one of Connecticut’s longest and most enchanting Main Streets, filled with unique shops, craft brews, live music, and small-town charm. Explore creativity and culture at every turn — from the soaring mural at the American Mural Project to the vibrant studios of Whiting Mills and the thought-provoking exhibits at the The American Museum of Tort Law.

​Come hungry. Leave inspired. ✨
