Think local for your vacation plans

I have had some emails from some readers interested in finding out what are company actually does, so I thought I would give you all a semi- brief synopsis.

The Traveling Vineyard operates in half of the states in the US. We are revolutionizing the wine tasting experience because we are turning living rooms into tasting rooms. Do not get me wrong- NOTHING beats a wine tasting at a vineyard, but there are many reasons why we can't always find a way to get to a vineyard. For instance, If you live in Allentown, PA. and want to try all italian wines and you can't get 10 friends to Tuscany, Italy or even Santa Barbara...try 5 of TTV's italian wines or California wines in your living room! See?

The Festival will take place July 20 – 22, 2007 at the historic Watkins Glen race track.

The celebration kicks-off Friday evening, July 20th, with fireworks, wine, and togas at “Yancey’s Fancy Cheese Launch of the Lakes”. Saturday and Sunday the Festival will open at 10:00 am until 5:00 pm, featuring a variety of wine from across the state, special events, live entertainment and much more, throughout the weekend. Camping on festival grounds, shuttle service to area hotels, and plenty of free parking are also available.

Dear Friends of Free the Grapes,

If your state is one of the remaining few which does not allow legal, regulated direct shipments, and it is not referenced below, then significant legislation is not in the works.
