The Niagara Wine Trail is celebrating spring and New York Wine Month with their annual Taste of the Trail event, April 16, 17, 23 and 24.

Taking place over the two weekends, participants can taste a different food sample paired perfectly with a wine at each participating winery. Hours for both weekends are Saturday 10am-5pm, Sunday 12pm-5pm.

Event tickets for a single weekend are $25/person in advance online or $30/person at wineries during the event. Guests can also purchase a pass for both weekends at $40/person in advance online or $45/person at wineries. Ticket prices do not include applicable sales tax or transportation.

Each ticket includes a tasting of 3 wines and one food sample at each of the 11 participating wineries for that weekend, and a commemorative wine glass from your starting winery. The winery participation and food pairings are as follows:
