💲 Varies by winery

Some weekends just feel like Bucks County. This is one of them.

On Saturday and Sunday, the Bucks County Wine Trail holds its Harvest Celebration at seven member wineries and a cidery. It's the time of year when the grapes are coming in, the presses are running, and the first seasonal wines and ciders show up in tasting rooms.

There's no single ticket or schedule. Each winery plans its own weekend, so the trail recommends calling ahead before you head out. Here's what has been announced so far.

Close to home: Buckingham Valley Vineyards. The winery on Route 413 is about ten minutes from downtown Doylestown. It's family run and was established in 1966, so this year marks its 60th anniversary. That's six decades of making wine in Buckingham.

Apple pressing at Manoff Market Cidery. In Solebury, Manoff will be pressing apples from its own orchard over the weekend. If you've never watched fruit go from tree to press to glass, this is the one to see.

A pairing flight and a market at Crossing Vineyards. In Washington Crossing, Crossing Vineyards is pouring a fall pairing flight on Saturday, Oct 10, and hosting an autumn vendor market on Sunday, Oct 11.

Hayrides and a corn maze at Aviator. Up in Perkasie, Aviator Vineyard and Winery is adding hayrides and corn maze fun to the weekend.

Also on the trail: Blind Fox Vineyard in Erwinna and Rose Bank Winery in Newtown.

One note so no one makes a wasted trip: the grape stomps at Bishop Estate are sold out both days.

Making a day of it. Pick two stops, not five. The wineries are spread across the county, and tasting rooms get busy on harvest weekend, especially Saturday afternoon. Start close to home at Buckingham Valley, then head toward Solebury for apple pressing, and you'll have a full, easy afternoon with country roads in between.

Choose a designated driver or plan your ride before the first pour. Many tasting rooms welcome picnics and well-behaved dogs, but policies vary, so ask when you call.

However you do it, it's a good weekend to taste what this year's harvest brought.
