Fight off the winter blues with Vino in the Valley!
The winter provides us simple peace and beauty, but by March many of us are excited for the arrival of spring. In the meantime, we have the perfect way to help you fight off the winter blues. Plan on joining the Lehigh Valley Wine Trail’s event ~ Vino in the Valley! This event is a great way to go out with your friends, travel to the area’s best wineries, sample amazing wine and food pairings, and restock your wine collection!
Vino in the Valley Passport Program involves purchasing a passport for $35 and then planning your weekends to visit each of the Lehigh Valley Wine Trail wineries during March. As you visit any of the eight member wineries, you will be offered delicious wine and food pairings to enjoy. At each of the wineries your passport will be stamped so that after you collect all eight stamps you can be entered into a Grand-Prize drawing for a $250 gift certificate of Wine Trail Bucks. Also, at random, each winery will be giving away 20 $50 restaurant gift certificates over these four weekends. If you don’t have enough time to travel the entire wine trail, you can purchase a one-time tasting fee at Clover Hill for $7 to sample our wine and food pairing.
Keep reading below for the full event details. We look forward to your visit to Clover Hill and thank you for supporting our family owned and operated winery. PS…We also look forward to the arrival of spring!
