It’s National Wine Day!

National Wine Day is May 25. How are you planning to celebrate National Wine Day? Below is a list of five ideas to help you find a way to enjoy a glass of wine.

1. Grab a bottle of your favorite wine and enjoy it while sitting in a rocking chair. Listen to soft music or if on the porch or deck listen for soft breezes and birds chirping.

2. Start a wine aroma garden by planting lavender or a rose bush. Depending on your region of the country, over time add other plants with aromas like daisies, lilacs, violets, honeysuckle, orange tree (for its blossoms) and lemongrass.

Plant a rose bush for National Wine Day!

3. In your kitchen prepare a recipe that uses wine as an ingredient. Pair the dish with the wine you use in the recipe. Need a recipe with wine as an ingredient, check out the recipe section on winetrailtraveler.com.

4. Visit a winery in your neighborhood. Call ahead for the tasting room hours.

5. Watch a wine-related movie while enjoying a glass of wine. Movies with a wine theme include: Bottle Shock, A Good Year, Cement Suitcase, A Year in Champagne,  Somm,  A Year in Burgundy, American Wine Story, and Vino Veritas.

Enjoy the day and relax with a glass of wine.

Cheers!
