Just in time for the fall harvest season, the new Brandywine Artisan Wine Trail has opened. Incorporating all wine-based businesses in the Brandywine Valley, the trail aims to celebrate the art of wine and the artistic heritage of the historic and beautiful Brandywine region through different monthly artisanal themes during the year.
Right now in August, you can explore several exhibits on the art of painting. Next month, the wineries and tasting rooms along the trail will highlight local sculptures, while October and November will feature themes of “harvest” and “ceramic art,” respectively.
The Brandywine Artisan Wine Trail brings attention to local artists, sculptors, ceramic artists and small farm-run artisan food products, as they show and sell their art and produce at local award-winning wineries.
