Wine Travel

Fall is in the air, and that means that grape harvests are on the horizon. September is one of the best months to visits one or more of NB's 14 wineries. It is when the leaves put on a dazzling show of reds, golds, and oranges, and the vineyards are laden with big, sweet wine grapes. 

Many wineries even organize harvest parties where guests get to help pick grapes and work for their wine. You can contact Uncorked Tours for information on organized Picking Parties. Here's a winery route map of New Brunswick.

You may be aware that food and wine travel is on the rise, and Uncorked Tours wants to take you there!

The Wine Riot, organized by The Second Glass, is taking place in Boston in late-October. It's an event dedicated to all things wine. From their website, How to Wine Riot:

• 250 wines in 4-hours, your GoVino glass is your ticket to great wines
• Tour the World, start with a theme like Chardonnay or France
• Go for Help, experts abound and mini 20-minute seminars will answer all your questions about wine
• Remember your wines, download the Wine Riot app to your iPhone or Android device (Gill's tip: download before crossing to the States so you don't pay for international data roaming)
• Have fun with it, get that temporary tattoo and have fun with it in the photo booth

We're partnering with Freedom Tours and Travel on a 4-day, 3-night Boston Wine Adventure. Check it out below and contact Freedom Tours at 800-561-2324 to make a reservation!
