Around the World on the Shawangunk Wine Trail

This weekend is the Around the World in 80 Miles on the Shawangunk Wine Trail. If you've never attended this event it's a fantastic event to try Hudson Valley Wines paired with dishes from other countries. Each winery becomes a different wine producing region and pairs their wines with a dish from that region.

Each participants will get a passport good for travel to each winery where they will sample authentic food and wine. Just think..it's much quicker to get a Shawangunk Wine Trail passport than a US Passport. No 6 weeks plus of waiting. Plus you get wine and food with it.

Tickets for this event are $25 plus tax in advance. Event ticket includes tasting fees at all ten wineries and the gourmet food tasting.

Hope to see you on the trail.

Debbie;

I think the event was a great success. A lot of people had a lot of fun and got to know Hudson Valley Wine.

One of the wineries had a problem with a group that had a bit too much. The trail as a whole is taking steps to make sure that this event remains a wine tasting and not a booze cruise that spoils it for Hudson Valley Wine Lovers!
