Lehigh Valley wineries to debut nouveau wines this weekend

The nine wineries of the Lehigh Valley Wine Trail will debut their first wines from the 2014 vintage this weekend during Nouveau Weekend, the last Wine Trail event of the year.

Wineries will also feature food and wine pairings for visitors to sample. Nouveau wines are bottled very young, without barrel aging, and are light, fruity and semi-dry to dry red wines.

Event hours at all of the wineries are Saturday from 10 a.m.-5 p.m. and Sunday from noon-5 p.m. The event is free, however some wineries charge for wine tastings.

Wineries along the wine trail include Amore, Big Creek, Blue Mountain, Clover Hill, Franklin Hill, Galen Glen, Pinnacle Ridge, Tolino and Vynecrest.

Passports for the 2015 Vino in the Valley Program (formerly the March Passport Program) also go on sale at the member wineries this weekend as well. Passports are $35 each.
