On Saturday and Sunday informative seminars will be presented. This year the seminars are Locavore Locapour, Cooking with Wine and Cooling Off with Ice Wine. Attendance is limited and tickets are available at the Timberstone Room, one hour before each seminar.

Food is also an important aspect of the festival. Available for purchase food items will include: funnel cake fries, kettle corn, kielbasa sandwiches, hamburgers, Caesar salad, Chesapeake Crab Bisque, tacos and much more.

If you plan on sampling wines from the attending wineries, plan to have a designated driver with you (designated driver tickets are only $10.) Another option is to stay at the resort overnight. Perhaps you will decide to taste only white wines red wines or sparkling wines or perhaps look for wines made with one grape variety. 

Tickets are available for Friday, Saturday and Sunday or choose a combination ticket for Saturday and Sunday. By purchasing tickets in advance you can save. Advance tickets begin at $25.

We have visited and written about many Pennsylvania wineries. Articles are available on Wine Trail Traveler.
