Note: We should have posted this a lot earlier than this. But, better late than never! This is sent from Get Fresh in the Valley, as it was sent to us:
This weekend is the official kick-off to spring (sunny weather included!). 20 wineries in Twenty Valley are hosting a NEW passport event – Get Fresh in the Valley. Spend your weekend meandering the Wine Route, enjoying a new vintage wine sample and gourmet food pairing valued at $10 each, and pick up a custom packet of seeds at each winery to help you get your gardening groove on…
Single-weekend passports are $35 each (with a value of over $200!) and are available at participating wineries, by completing the attached order form and faxing to the TVTA office, or by phone at 905.562.3636. Choose your weekend, and choose to make a weekend of it with great offers from Twenty Valley members.
