2 Newtown Wineries Will Sparkle In 'Light Up The Vines' Event This Year

NEWTOWN, PA — The second annual Light Up the Vines holiday illumination will begin Saturday, featuring not one but two Newtown vineyards.

The Bucks County Wine Trail's Holiday Celebration, featuring mulled wine and festive cookies at all seven participating wineries, will kick off the illuminations, running on both Saturday and Sunday. Then, six of the seven (since Vino by Zzino does not have a vineyard to illuminate) will light up their vineyards with holiday cheer each evening at dusk through Jan. 2.

Travelers near and far can ring in the holiday season with festive lights in the vineyards, along with mulled wines, food trucks, fire pits, holiday music and more during the kickoff lighting on Saturday.

Light Up the Vines is a free event, with food and beverages available to purchase.

Visitors should note that space is limited at each winery. Fire pits and seating are available on a first come, first served basis, so guests may wish to bring blankets or their own chairs. Visits by groups of six or more require a reservation.
