This ride will take us to 5 wineries where we will be stopping for tastings. We will have a S.A.W. vehicle (Support and Wine) along for this ride so that people may purchase wine if they wish. We will be visiting Witness Tree Vineyard, Cristom Vineyards, St. Innocent Winery, Bethel Heights Vineyard, and Bryn Mawr Vineyards. All of these wineries will charge a $5 tasting fee that is often refundable with purchase, except for Bryn Mawr which offers a complimentary tasting. There will be beautiful picnic areas to enjoy at each stop, so pack a snack or two to enjoy along the way.
