Wreath Fineries- Shawangunk Wine Trail- Last Weekend Coming up

Well, it appears I dropped the ball on this one.  The Wreath Fineries event started on Saturday, November 20 and is hosting its last weekend this coming weekend.  I have participated in this event several times and loved it!  

If you are not sure what it is I can explain.  The Wreath Fineries event is all about winery hopping basically.  You pay a fee in advance and let them know what winery you are starting at.  When you arrive at the winery you will receive a wine glass for tastings, a grape wreath and your first holiday ornament for the wreath.  As you travel along to a new winery you collect an ornament from them and add them to your wreath.  It is a great way to experience a whole bunch of wineries in the area, support local businesses, buy holiday gifts (not just wine), and have fun with your friends and family. 


I would recommend it to all wine drinkers and non wine drinkers (because you will need a sober driver).  Please check out the links below for pricing and "rules" they enforce on the trail.  Very large groups are frowned upon at certain wineries because they have a small tasting area. 

We had a negative experience at Applewood Winery once, very rude ladies there, but otherwise the rest of the wineries are really cool.

Happy Holidays, Cheers!
