There’s a new way to taste local wines, all while enjoying the Bucks County countryside.

The Bucks County Wine Trail launched its new Tasting Ticket, a self-guided tour designed to provide a convenient and affordable way for wine lovers to sample the area’s locally made wines and ciders.

Manoff Market Cidery, in New Hope, offers outdoor seating with a view of the orchard where guests can enjoy flights, bottles and light snacks.

Now through Sept. 15, guests can enjoy one wine or hard cider tasting at each of the eight participating member locations on the wine trail during regular operating hours.

“By offering a lengthy time frame to redeem customers’ Tasting Tickets, participants can visit at their own pace, making a day, weekend, several weekends or many months of their stops in bucolic Bucks County,” said Bucks County Wine Trail President Chad Sletten, Sand Castle Winery managing partner.
