LEHIGH VALLEY, PA – November 3, 2022 – Next weekend the five member wineries of the Lehigh Valley Wine Trail will host their fourth annual food drive event, Giving Before Thanks.

On Saturday, November 12 and Sunday, November 13 guests are invited to donate a non-perishable food item at each LVWT member winery. In exchange for the donation, the wineries will provide patrons with a complimentary three-wine tasting. (A food donation must be made at each winery on the trail to receive that winery’s complimentary tasting.)

The food will be donated to the food pantry at New Bethany Ministries in Bethlehem and the Portland/Upper Mount Bethel Food Pantry in the Slate Belt. LVWT will also donate to the Second Harvest Food Bank of Lehigh Valley and Northeast PA $1 for each pound of food that was donated during the weekend event, up to $1,000.

LVWT member wineries include: Black River Farms, Bethlehem; Blue Mountain Vineyards, New Tripoli; Franklin Hill Vineyards, Bangor; Tolino Vineyards, Bangor; and Vynecrest, Breinigsville.

Event hours at all of the wineries are Saturday from 11 a.m. – 5 p.m. and Sunday from noon – 5 p.m.  https://lehighvalleywinetrail.com/events/giving-before-thanks/

The event is also an opportunity to pick up wines for the upcoming holiday meals and to give as gifts. Passports for the wine trail’s annual passport program Wine & Shine Lehigh Valley will also go on sale this weekend for $39 each at all five wineries and online through EventBrite. The event is moving from March to April in 2023 for three weekends. https://lehighvalleywinetrail.com/events/wine-and-shine-lehigh-valley/
