The holiday season is the perfect time for mulled wines and festive cookies, and the seven wineries of the Bucks County Wine Trail have plenty of each during the annual Holiday Celebration on Saturday and Sunday, Dec. 10 and 11.
Visitors can experience the beauty of the wineries decorated for the holidays while enjoying spiced wines, sampling Christmas cookies and artisanal cheeses, and relaxing with the sounds of holiday music. As an added bonus: guests can get a jump-start on holiday shopping with special discount pricing, wine gift packs, gift baskets and unique wine accessories.
The Holiday Celebration is also the kickoff for Light up the Vines, the third annual vineyard illumination. Light Up the Vines continues through Jan. 1.
