Winemaker's Barrel Tasting Weekend
May 23rd and 24th, 2009
To mark the beginning of another growing season and to remember the fruits of last year's labor, join us for a winemaker's barrel tasting weekend. Each winery will provide you a chance to sample from the cask, from 11am - 5pm Saturday and from 12 - 5pm on Sunday. Visit all the wineries over the weekend and complete your wine trail passport for a complimentary glass of wine and a chance to win a wine gift basket.
This 4th of July our wineries are "declaring their independence" from traditional grape varieties.
July 4th and 5th, 2009
Each winery in the wine trail uses grape varieties developed in our area to grow in cold climates. These grape varieties make wonderful wines unique to our region. Wines made from these grapes have won many national and international awards. The grapes being featured this 4th of July will be Frontenac and La Crescent.
