The end of summer means BIG events at Clover Hill
It's hard to believe that August is here already! It seems like we were just so excited for bud burst on the vines, and now we're moving toward veraison and planning our harvest schedule.
We still have a lot of summer left, so don't pack away those shorts and sandals just yet. We're looking forward to a fun August with our Wine Slushie Weekend at The Winery in Breinigsville; Sangria Sunday at The Vineyard in Robesonia; Clover Hill Cooking Contest at The Great Allentown Fair; and our biggest sale of the year ... our 34th Anniversary Celebration Sale happening August 15-18 at all of our Clover Hill locations and online at www.cloverhillwinery.com.
See below for details on all of these events and more. Plus, don't forget to join the events on Facebook to receive the most recent updates on everything happening at Clover Hill!
It's a lanternfly triple threat: Clover Hill, Anewalt's Landscaping and the Fightin Phils
On July 26, 2019, FirstEnergy Stadium in Reading, PA was buzzing with awareness about the spotted lanternfly.
Clover Hill joined forces with the Reading Fightin Phils and Anewalt's Landscape Contracting for a night of fun and education about this invasive pest.
Clover Hill Vineyards & Winery continues to work on ways to protect our vineyards from the lanternfly, which not only is a threat to the wine industry, but also to nurseries and other farming industries.
What can you do to help save the vineyards? The Pennsylvania Department of Agriculture and Penn State Extension recommends destroying lanternflies when you see them in their nymph and adult stages. More importantly, collect and destroy their egg masses by submerging the masses in a bag filled with either alcohol or hand sanitizer, then place inside another bag for the trash. Click here for more information on the spotted lanternfly.
Thank you to everyone who attended the game and to our community for helping us battle the spotted lanternfly!
