Barrels On The Brandywine Starts In March!

The Brandywine Valley Wine Trail calls it, “Five Weekends, Barrels of Fun!”

Several local wineries will open their cellars for this unique Brandywine Valley Wine Trail passport event. Each March, the wineries feature tastings of the new developing vintage in barrels, buckets, bottles and more! This is your chance to venture into their cellars and taste the new wines firsthand.

Passports for the event may be ordered in their online store or purchased at member wineries. While Passports are valid March 3 through April 30, 2012, you can only taste the new vintages during March and on April 1. After April 1, you may use your Passport for a standard tasting.
