The Bucks County Wine Trail is hosting its first-ever Light Up the Vines holiday lighting. Beginning Dec. 5 and continuing through Jan. 2, the seven wineries of the trail will illuminate their vineyards each evening at dusk.
Ring in the holiday season with festive lights in the vineyards, mulled wines, food trucks, fire pits, holiday music and more. Festivities vary by winery. Each will turn on their lights starting at 5 p.m. Social distancing is required. Guests unable to stand or sit within at least six feet of other guests are asked to wear a mask.
