The N.C. Wine & Grape Council will sponsor a special wine-tasting area, featuring samples from some of North Carolina’s 80 wineries, while farmers offer samples of locally grown muscadines and free recipes to help inspire visitors in their home kitchens.
In addition to the wine and grape samples being offered during the day, make sure you check out Lu Mil Vineyard, a Market Shoppes staple. The Elizabethtown native will be giving out samples of its homemade muscadine slushies, sure to be a treat for the remaining days of summer.
Bottles of wine also will be available for purchase in the wine-tasting area and at Market Shoppes vendor The Berry Patch.
