Sometime this long Memorial Day Weekend you will want to enjoy a relaxing and fruity glass of Sangria. The recipes for Sangria are easy to make. Below you’ll find a couple of Sangria recipes provided to us for use on the Wine Trail Traveler website.

A recent Sangria recipe we have is from Narmada Winery in Amissville, Virginia. When you have the opportunity be sure to stop and linger at the winery. Enjoy a glass of wine on the deck or inside the spacious tasting room. A review of Narmada Winery is available.
