Wine lovers can taste the newest, fruitiest varieties of wine during the Bucks County Wine Trail’s annual Nouveau weekend, Saturday and Sunday, Nov. 12 and 13.
Nouveau wines are bottled young with little aging, offering light and sweet tastes. As is tradition in the Beaujolais region of France, the Bucks County wineries offer their own Nouveau from harvest.
Buckingham Valley Vineyards, Crossing Vineyards and Winery, Rushland Ridge Vineyards and Winery, and Sand Castle Winery will offer Nouveau wine tastings during the event. For those wineries that don’t produce a Nouveau wine, other activities and new releases will be offered.
Bishop Estate Vineyard and Winery will release new batches of its Dark Bishop and Overworked Dry Riesling as part of Nouveau Weekend.
The winery will host three food trucks from noon to 9 p.m. Nov. 12, and live music from Mike Chet Beck from 4 to 8 p.m. Nov. 13 is Sangria Sunday. The winery will also have a food truck onsite from noon to 6 p.m. and live music from James Lauchmen from 1 p.m. to 5 p.m.
Crossing Vineyards and Winery will debut its 2022 Le Nouveau, the first fruits of the 2022 vintage, from noon to 6 p.m. both days, as well as offer specialty cocktails and seasonal beer. On Saturday, the Kim and Chuck Duo will perform from 2 to 6 p.m. Guests can relax with Julia Melito’s mellow guitar and vocals from 2 to 6 p.m. Sunday.
Vino by Zzino will feature its two new releases: Carmenere, a dry red wine aged and oaked with a peppery finish; and a crisp and refreshing, lightly oaked Chardonnay.
Each winery sets its own hours and offerings.
