Visitors are invited to come and taste the fruits of local winemakers’ labor during the Bucks County Wine Trail’s annual Harvest Celebration on Saturday and Sunday, Oct. 8 and 9.
In addition to sampling a variety of award-winning locally made Bucks County wines, guests can taste freshly pressed grape juices that have not yet fermented into wine.
Bishop Estate Vineyard and Winery will offer live music and food trucks during the weekend. Guests can take part in a grape stomping activity. Seasonal favorites Smash’n Pumpkins wine will be served as will warm spiced Applenoonie Apple wine.
Complimentary wagon rides around the vineyard will be available (first come, first served) from 2 to 6 p.m. Saturday. On Sunday, Bishop is offering two seatings for its fall cupcake and wine pairing, which features three wine-infused cupcakes paired with three wines. Visit the winery online for tickets.

At Rushland Ridge Vineyard & Winery, guests can sample fresh-pressed Traminette grape juice, along with seasonal cookies. With every paid wine tasting, folks can pick a pumpkin (while supplies last).
