Happy Mother's Day!

The kids decided to whisk me away on Saturday for a day of fun. I had no clue where we were going....well, until Adam was driving out in the country....and I saw the sign for Franklin Hills winery.  LOL!  We had so much fun!  We went to six different wineries...one of them in Bangor, the rest in the Breinigsville/New Tripoli area.  It turned out there were some special winery events going on at most of them, so it was busier than expected.  Fortunately, the busloads that pulled in, were doing their own thing, thus for the most part, we didn't have to wait to do any tastings.

This was our first stop:

Notice the wine is blue!  It's blueberry:

 And look how orange this wine is:

This was our stop at Woody's Sports Bar in Forks Township for lunch.  Our chauffeur was resting up for the remainder of the trip:

Stop 2:

They were hopping!  Most of the folks there were given a little foil cup with chocolates in them and they paired the wine based on the chocolate.  We didn't get the chocolates, as we were just there for the tasting:

Stop 3:

It was kinda busy here too:

The wine was starting to work :-)

Stop 4, our least favorite:

They had a $5/person tasting fee, but if you bought something they waived it.  Most of their wines were dry, which none of us are crazy about, but these were quite tasty.  It's powder, you add a bottle of wine, then some water and throw it in the freezer.  You can drink it almost any way...slushie, or just cold.

I think I was getting to my limit!  Unfortunately we still had two wineries to go yet...LOL!

Stop 5.  

We also had to come back to this one, when we got there the first time around, there was a bus that had just pulled in and was emptying out.  We couldn't even get in to the parking area!

I really like the inside of this winery:

Stop 5.  Blue Mountain Winery.

Our final stop.  We got there a bit after 5 pm, which was a bad thing.  They had a candlelight and wine event that started at 5 and the place was packed!

Our purchases!  Not too bad for six different wineries :-)
