On October 9 and 10, the 5 wineries of the Lehigh Valley Wine Trail will introduce you to wines made from the Chambourcin grape. Event hours are Saturday 11 a.m. – 5 p.m. and Sunday noon – 5 p.m. See below for a list of what’s planned.
The Chambourcin is the only wine grape that is grown by all of our wineries. In the greater Lehigh Valley, there are more than 40 acres of Chambourcin which ferment into approximately 150,000 bottles of wine. Chambourcin is very versatile in the wine cellar and the wineries craft it into several styles of wine including Nouveau, Rosé, Semi- Sweet, Sweet, Dry Barrel Aged, Sparkling and Port.
