Founded by Stephanie and Tim Ingrassia in 2006, Spring Hill Vineyards has evolved from a modest wine-tasting venue to a center for community celebrations and cultural exchanges.
“SHAG is just as much about bringing the world to Washington as it is about bringing Washington to the world, because our community is filled with so many artists, writers, and thinkers. We’re excited to celebrate creativity and togetherness in the place that our family has called home for close to thirty years.”
Stephanie is serial producer of creative construction and design projects, and is Vice Chair of the Brooklyn Museum. Tim is Co-Chair of Global Mergers and Acquisitions at Goldman Sachs, and a Trustee of the Brooklyn Public Library. The couple spend their time between Brooklyn and Spring Hill in Washington, CT.
This year, Pride in the Hills will be presenting in-person performances in collaboration with the Spring Hill Arts Gathering on Saturday, July 31st from 4pm-10pm. Performances will include Alex Newell, Sophie B. Hawkins, Mila Jam, Shequida Hall, DJ Zeke Thomas, Jeremiah Lloyd Harmon and more, with guest Creative Director Chris Herrmann.
