It’s safe to say those chilly days are behind us. The sun is shining, flowers are poking up, and greens are starting to show up at area farmers markets.
This weekend, you can take full advantage of the warm weather. Just step outside and shop for all your favorite goodies at a local farmers market, sample some high-quality coffee, pick up some wine, and enjoy your holiday festivities!
Events are listed in chronological order
1. Easter Wine Sale
Thursday through Saturday, April 13 – 15, Peace Valley Winery, 300 Old Limekiln Rd., Chalfont, PA
For those that celebrate Easter, it’s always nice to have the whole family over to enjoy some food and fun. Like other holidays, it’s a great excuse to drink wine during the day (as if you really need an excuse). So to complete your Easter brunch, Peace Valley Winery is offering 10% off its Excalibur (perfect with lamb), New Britain Rose (goes well with ham) and Spumante (use for mimosas). The sale runs through Saturday, April 15, and the winery is closed on Easter Sunday.
But wait, there’s more. Peace Valley Winery has been around since 1967, and owners Susie and Rob have decided to move on to other things. The property is subject to development and while the sale hasn’t been finalized, they expect it will happen soon. Stay on the lookout for Peace Valley Winery wine deals, since this will be the last time you can get your hands on some of their tasty wines.
2. Spaghetti Dinner
