INDIANAPOLIS - Seven central Indiana wineries will be featuring specialty wines and desserts to celebrate the romance holiday, Valentine's Day. The Valentine's Day Celebration will take place February 9 and 10, 2008 at the participating wineries. Guests are invited, at no charge, to visit each winery during regular business hours to enjoy all the different festivities, sweets and wines that await them.
Participating wineries include Buck Creek Winery (Indianapolis), Chateau Thomas Winery (Plainfield), Easley Winery (Indianapolis), Ferrin's Fruit Winery (Carmel), Grape Inspirations Winery ( Carmel ), Mallow Run Winery (Bargersville), and Simmons Winery (Columbus). This collection of wineries is also known as the Indy Wine Trail.
Tickets are $15 in advance and $18 at the door. Ticket prices include a glass of wine, chocolate treats and a South Bend Chocolate giveaway at each winery.
"The Indy Wine Trail is excited to host this event by highlighting specialty wines with tasty desserts, perfect for Valentine's Day," said Jeff Durm, President of the Indy Wine Trail and co-owner of Buck Creek Winery. "We are also excited to include South Bend Chocolate Company's wonderful treats as part of the wine trail's Valentine's Day celebration."
Currently, the Indy Wine Trail is featuring a passport program where visitors receive a free wine glass after visiting all seven wineries. Trail visitors have until June 1, 2008 to complete the trail to earn the glass.
For those traveling the trail, the participating wineries will offer suggestions for overnight accommodations and meals. Since the trail includes visits to seven wineries, everyone is encouraged to designate a driver and drink responsibly.
