AVA Celebration – April 21-22 - The Lehigh Valley Wine Trail Winery and Vineyard owners have a love for the land and are proud to be grape growers. We are especially proud that in April of 2008 we received an AVA designation (American Viticulture Area) known as the "Lehigh Valley." An AVA is a federal designation that enables vintners to better describe the origin of their wines and to allow consumers to identify wines they purchase. The Lehigh Valley AVA is distinguished in part by rolling hillsides, an agricultural climate and soil composed mainly of shale, sandstone and siltstone. Celebrate our AVA by enjoying the wines from the wine trail labeled with the AVA designation of the Lehigh Valley. Know that you are drinking something that is locally produced, unique, and specifically crafted to best showcase the Lehigh Valley!

Wine on the Mountain – July 30-31 - Held in conjunction with Penn’s Peak in Jim Thorpe, this event includes wine samplings, local artisans displaying their arts and crafts, light fare available for purchase, and live entertainment. Tickets are required for this event and can be purchased at each winery as well as at the door.

Harvest Weekend – The Butcher, The Baker and The Winemaker – September 10-11 – The wineries proudly promote the state’s “Pennsylvania Preferred” program by partnering with manufacturers of other Pennsylvania products to showcase their high level of quality. Wine pairings, vineyard tours, food, music and other special activities are featured.

Chambourcin Weekend – October 15 & 16 - Taking place after the harvest is over, this event celebrates the “official wine grape of the Lehigh Valley,” the Chambourcin. It is the only wine made by all nine of the member wineries.

Nouveau Weekend – November 19 & 20 - This is the earliest chance to sample the first vintages of the new harvest. It’s also a great opportunity to purchase wines for the upcoming holiday season to give as gifts or to drink at dinner.
