Check out the fabulous wine and cheese pairings our wineries have planned:<\/p>\n
Setter Ridge Vineyards<\/strong> welcomes Conebella Farm, an award-winning 100% Ayrshire dairy farm, located in beautiful Chester County, Pennsylvania. Setter Ridge Vineyards Pinot Gris will be paired with Conebella Farm’s Garden-Garlic Cheese spread. Also, enjoy cheese in your dessert with Chilled Blueberry Cheese Tarts featuring Conebella Farm’s Cheddar Cheese and Cheddar Cheese Spread paired with Setter Ridge Vineyard’s Pinot Noir.<\/p>\n Deerfoot Vineyards and Winery<\/strong> is partnering with two local cheese producers during this years\u2019 event. October 5-6 will feature cheeses from Haven Farmstead Table, New Tripoli, paired with their red wine blend, Six Point, and their Chardonnay. Visit Deerfoot during the second weekend, October 12-13, when Grube\u2019s Dairy returns with their popular cheese curds and mild cheddar cubes. They\u2019ll spotlight their sweet Port, to go along with that amazing squeaky cheese!<\/p>\n Stoudt\u2019s Winery<\/strong> will have their best-selling Red Raspberry wine paired with three smoked cheeses. The fresh-picked berry sweetness of this wine creates a fantastic contrast to the nutty flavor of a smoked Cheddar cheese, heightening the flavors of both. A smoked jalapeno and a smoked garlic cheese will also be available for sampling. This is one you won\u2019t want to miss!<\/p>\n The focus is on flavor at KOG Hill Winery<\/strong>. Guests will be treated to the sharp bite of an aged Provolone, contrasted with the lovely floral aroma and bright citrus flavor of KOG Hill\u2019s Gewurztraminer.<\/p>\n Manatawny Creek Winery<\/strong> takes you south-of-the-boarder with zesty Mexican Cheddar Queso Dip served with corn tortilla chips and paired with 2015 Merlot. Next, enjoy Blue Cheese Pastry Puffs paired with a rich, deep red, ruby-style port made from Cabernet Franc grapes fortified with grape alcohol to 19%. The salty nuances in the blue cheese pair beautifully with the sweet wine!<\/p>\n It\u2019s always pouring inside at Weathered<\/strong> where semi-sweet Cirrus, a Cayuga-Riesling hybrid grape wine with hints of lemon and apple, will be paired with a tangy Feta & Lemon Dip on a pita. Then enjoy Cherry Blossoms, a puff pastry bite of happiness, filled with goat cheese and a fruit topping that perfectly brings out the subtle undertone flavors of Weathered\u2019s Pinot Noir.<\/p>\n Ridgewood Winery<\/strong> will have cheeses from September Farms of Honey Brook. Enjoy a final taste of summer with, not Pepper Jack, but a Peach Jack cheese, paired with Summer Blush watermelon wine for a mouthful of summer fruit flavor! Next, 3-year aged Honeybrook Cheddar brings out the softer, sometimes hard to taste, true grape flavor of Ridgewood\u2019s Gewurztraminer, and leaves the floral aromas and tastes behind.<\/p>\n Stonekeep Meadery <\/strong>will have a taste of Paradise, a flavorful aged Cheddar from Farm Fromage paired with the bold flavors of Stonekeeps\u2019 Black Current Melomel. You\u2019ll also enjoy sipping sweet and fruity Cayuga as a delicious toast to fall!<\/p>\n Gourmet pizza anyone? Stone Barn Cellars<\/strong> will be pairing a Brie and Caramelized Onion pizza with their off-dry Vidal Blanc. This creamy, salty-sweet combo really hits the spot as a delicious snack! Also enjoy Stone Barn Cellars Spice of Life pumpkin spice wine paired with a pumpkin cheesecake crepe for a whipped cream covered match made in heaven!<\/p>\n Long Trout Winery<\/strong> will be serving a warm, creamy, homemade mac. and cheese to ward off any chill in the air. Pair with Omnipular, Long Trout\u2019s Cabernet Sauvignon wine, for a rich, comfort-food classic! Then, enjoy something sweet before you go like Carapple wine, for an apple crisp taste of fall. Peace out, Trout Scouts!<\/p>\n Visit Calvaresi Wine<\/strong>ry for an international treat! Collier\u2019s Cheddar, named after the Welsh coal miners who packed cheese in their lunch sacks, is paired with Calvaresi\u2019s stainless steel aged Chardonnay. Next, long-time customer favorite Steuben Blush is matched with Chorherrenkase, a tangy buttermilk cultured Austrian cheese.<\/p>\n The Events<\/a> page of our website has more pairing details.<\/p>\n This year, the Berks County Wine Trail celebrates 15 years as an active group of wineries in southeastern Pennsylvania.
