The Lehigh Valley Wine Trail is celebrating the 10th anniversary of the Lehigh Valley American Viticultural Area in 2018 with a new event and restaurant partnership promotion to encourage wine lovers to buy and drink local wine in June.

Lehigh Valley Wine Trail Month will take place throughout June and features two components:

• The Vintner’s Experience features unique experiences at each of the trail’s eight member wineries on weekends which will expose customers to the wine making process in a fun and educational way.

One $25 ticket gets customers into all eight experiences, or as many of the eight as they wish to attend. They are allowed to attend each winery’s experience once.

A list of experiences with descriptions follows and can also be found on the event website. Each winery’s experience is offered once each weekend in June, so customers have four times during June to attend it.

• A monthlong partnership with 20 local restaurants will also encourage wine lovers to drink local in June.

Each partner restaurant will feature local wines on their menus, some will serve special wine cocktails, and others will offer discounts on local wine by the glass.
