Beginning Dec. 5 and continuing through Jan. 2, the seven member wineries of the Bucks County Wine Trail will illuminate their vineyards each evening at dusk.
Travelers near and far can ring in the holiday season with festive lights in the vineyards, along with mulled wines, food trucks, fire pits, holiday music and more during the kickoff lighting on Dec. 5. Festivities vary by winery.
The wineries will begin turning on lights at 5 p.m. Dec. 5 and will stay open later that evening to allow guests time to enjoy a night of merrymaking.
Social distancing is required at each winery. Guests unable to stand or sit at least six feet from other guests are asked to wear a mask.
Light Up the Vines is a free event co-sponsored by Visit Bucks County. All are welcome to attend. Fees will apply to food and wine purchases.
In addition to traditional and seasonal wine offerings, here’s what the wineries are planning in conjunction with the Light Up the Vines Dec. 5 kickoff:
