Vino in the Valley

The Lehigh Valley Wine Trail will feature new food and wine pairings during Vino in the Valley Passport Program weekends in March.

Participants can purchase a passport at eventbrite.com/e/vino-in-the-valley-2016-tickets-19335524073. Event hours at each winery are Saturday from 10 a.m. to 5 p.m., and Sunday from noon to 5 p.m. Wineries will be closed March 27 for Easter.

Participants receive tasting-sized food and wine pairings to sample at each winery. Their passport is stamped at each winery, and once it's been stamped by at least eight of the nine member wineries, participants fill out their contact information at the bottom of the passport and turn it in at the last winery they visit to be entered into the Grand Prize Drawing to win one of 30 $25 Lehigh Valley Wine Trail gift certificates.

Each passport holder also receives a Wine Trail Vino in the Valley event T-shirt.

The Wine Trail recommends that participants visit no more than three wineries a day to get the most enjoyment out of their experience without being rushed. It is also strongly recommend that participants have a designated driver to allow for safe travel to and from each winery.
