Clover Hill Vineyards & Winery and Vynecrest Vineyards & Winery partner together to celebrate the first ever Wine Tourism Day in North America with a Spring Fling to include wine and food pairings.

Every year there are more and more people traveling to wineries in Pennsylvania and every other state in the United States.  Do you realize there is a winery in every state?  Even in Alaska and Hawaii.  There are now over 7,500 wineries in the United States with around 150 in Pennsylvania alone.  This is cause to celebrate!  North America will be celebrating our first ever Wine Tourism Day on Saturday, May 11, 2013 . . . but really any day is a good day to celebrate wine.  Throughout North America wineries, restaurants and hotels have created special events for people who love anything to do with wine, food, travel and fun.

Clover Hill Vineyards & Winery will be teaming up with Vynecrest Vineyards & Winery, both in Breinigsville, to celebrate Wine Tourism Day with a Spring Fling.  Both Clover Hill and Vynecrest will be featuring 3 wines paired with 3 foods.  Spring Fling Tickets are $5 each and will include include the following pairings:
