Wine lovers looking for the perfect holiday experience should look no further than The Brandywine Valley Wine Trail (www.bvwinetrail.com) whose festive open house is planned for Saturday December 4th and Sunday December 5th! Seven area wineries will all be participating decorated in holiday finery. Enjoy carolers, holiday musicians, holiday sale pricing and more. I could not think of a better way to enjoy stress free holiday shopping while sipping from some of the region’s best vineyards and wineries.

About The Brandywine Valley Wine Trail
Website: www.bvwinetrail.com
Facebook: Visit the Brandywine Valley Wine Trail on Facebook.
Six years ago a small group of wineries in Chester County, PA, joined forces to create the Brandywine Valley Wine Trail in southeastern Pennsylvania. Today the region continues to grow in both acres of vineyards and numbers of wineries. Each winery has its own distinct personality for you to discover as you tour our vineyards, taste in our cellars, and picnic on our grounds.
Spanning scenic southeastern Pennsylvania between historic Philadelphia and the Amish countryside outside Lancaster, the eight wineries of the Brandywine Valley Wine Trail are located within an easy drive of one another (within a 50 mile radius).
All wineries are open year round for your enjoyment. So come visit our tasting rooms and learn more about the unique characteristics of Brandywine Valley Wine Country!
