Seven Valleys Vineyard & Winery is one of the stops on the Tour de Tanks this year (submitted photo).
“The Mason-Dixon Wine Trail is a year-round destination and events like Tour de Tanks are the perfect way to get visitors to come explore all our region has to offer,” said Anne Druck, president of the York County Convention & Visitors Bureau, in a release.
In its eighth year, the event kicks off Saturday and runs weekends through March 30, offering visitors the chance to taste the latest wines right out of the barrels.
New participants for this year include The Vineyard at Grandview, High Rock Winery and Old Republic Distillery. The full list of 26 participating wineries is available on the event website.
“Many of our hotels and bed and breakfasts are offering special packages for wine enthusiasts, so visitors can take their time exploring the Trail, as well as visiting other local attractions,” Druck added in the release.
Tickets, which are good for all five weekends of Tour de Tanks, are available online or at participating wineries for $25 each and include a souvenir wine glass and 10 percent discount at the wineries.
For more information, visit the Mason-Dixon Wine Trail on Facebook, or follow them on Twitter.
