Wine & Cheese Weekend iCal

Friday, April 21 2017 12:00 PM - 1:00 AM

Tickets are now on sale for the popular Wine & Cheese Weekend at only $38 per person. One ticket is good for all three days. They may be purchased online at www.lakeeriewinecountry.org before Tuesday, April 18 at 10:00 a.m. Tickets are usually sold-out before this deadline, so advanced purchase is necessary.

 

A ticket for your designated driver is available for only $20 and includes everything but wine. Friday and/or Sunday only tickets are only $28 each. This entitles ticket holders to enjoy all of the benefits of the event on Friday and/or Sunday only, but not on Saturday.

 

As in the past, ticket holders will receive a food and wine pairing sample at each winery, additional wine tastes, a wine glass, recipe booklet, $5 voucher for wine purchase, and this year, a gift of another $5 voucher

Ticket holders plan their own itinerary, enjoying each winery on a self-guided tour on Friday, April 21 from noon-6 p.m.; Saturday, April 22 from 10 a.m. – 6 p.m; and Sunday, April 23 from 10 a.m. - 5 p.m. Wine & Cheese Weekend is sponsored by Yancey’s Fancy Cheeses. www.yanceysfancy.com

 

Wine & Cheese Weekend will kick-off a busy 2017 tourist season in the region. Throughout the summer, the 22 individual wineries will host their own special events that include free concerts in the vineyards, vineyard walks, festivals, winemaker’s dinners and other exciting event offerings. “There is a multitude of fun and interesting activities at our wineries all spring and summer,” says Julie Ellis. “Events give people a little more incentive to come out and try our delicious wines while enjoying our beautiful region. You’ll have a grape time!” Special events for all wineries are listed at lakeeriewinecountry.org. There are also listings for lodging, dining, transportation and other area attractions.

 

Lake Erie Wine Country, formerly known as The Chautauqua-Lake Erie Wine Trail, has been incorporated for more than a decade. They are a consortium of 22 wineries located on a 50-mile stretch between Harborcreek, PA and Silver Creek, NY along the southern shore of Lake Erie. The mission of this non-profit organization is to “support and to market the wine and grape industries in Chautauqua County, New York and Erie County, Pennsylvania through the promotion of excellence in wine products, in winery and associate member facilities, and in the tourism experience in the region.”
