Delicious pairing of unique cheeses from our local region paired with locally produced wines!
Local Artisan Cheese & Wine Pairing Event weekends on the Berks County Wine Trail are a fantastic opportunity to enjoy many different cheeses and wines during this annual event. Spend two glorious Fall weekends visiting 11 different wineries and tasting over two dozen different styles of local cheeses paired with a vast array of featured wines of the Berks County region.
Ticket holders will get to enjoy samples of different styles of local cheese at each winery, paired with fantastic wines!
Tickets are good for all FOUR days.
Tickets will be available for purchase online via Local Wine Events or at individual wineries. Tickets will be valid at all wineries during the event weekends. Early bird tickets are $10/ea (plus online ticketing fees). Tickets purchased later will be $15/ea (plus online ticketing fees). Printed tickets are for sale at each winery as well if you want to pay cash and save on fees.
This wine trail event is “self-guided;” create your own adventure as a day-trip during these Autumn weekends, visiting each of the wineries along the Berks County Wine Trail.
Note, wineries will have their full wine tasting menus available for sampling during this event; although several of the wineries will offer samplings for free; many of the wineries do charge a nominal fee for their regular tasting menu. Some wineries refund the tasting fee with purchase of wine.
