A wine trail is a group of vineyards and wineries that are located within close proximity to one another. Lucky for you, and lucky for me, Pennsylvania is home to a plethora of vineyards that form twelve different wine trails. If you want more comprehensive information, check out this wonderful website, the Pennsylvania Winery Association.
