Harvest Wine Weekends Nov 7-8, 10-11
Westfield, (NY) - The Chautauqua-Lake Erie Wine Trail, located in the heart of America’s Grape Country between North East, PA and Silver Creek, NY, will hold its Harvest Wine Weekends at twenty-two wineries, the first two weekends of November. It is an auspicious year to begin this new tradition of Harvest Wine Weekends – for the harvest will be a late one for many of the wineries. Each winery will be pairing fall food with a special wine, and as in the past, ticket holders will receive a wineglass and recipes. In keeping with the Trail’s desire to “buy local”, the gift for the event is a Wendell August Forge boxed coaster, manufactured in Grove City, Pennsylvania.
Tickets are now on sale for the event and are $35/person for the weekend event, or $30/person for Sunday Only. They may be purchased on-line by clicking here or by calling 877-326-6561.
