The Bucks County Wine Trail’s Summer Sip & Savor event returns Aug. 6 and Aug. 13.
On select Sundays in August wine lovers and foodies can enjoy selections of locally made wines expertly paired with mouthwatering appetizers as part of the Bucks County Wine Trail’s Summer Sip & Savor food and wine pairing events.
The second annual Summer Sip & Savor welcomes guests from near and far to come and enjoy wines (and hard ciders) selected to complement an array of savory and sweet dishes at each of the eight family-owned wineries along the Bucks County Wine Trail. Each member location will offer three to four small bites paired with wine or cider varieties. Guests can choose to visit on Aug. 6, Aug. 13, or both dates. Each date features four locations to allow visitors to have to make, at most, four stops on each of the Summer Sip & Savor dates.

Mannoff Market Cidery, the newest member of the Bucks County Wine Trail, will participate in this year’s event, offering samplings of some of the cidery’s varieties such as Pink Lady, Stayman and Goldrush, which are grown at the orchard, harvested and pressed into alcoholic ciders.
Guests can visit on one or both Sundays to enjoy gourmet apps and wine.
