Maybe it is because I am a big wine fan and I have a passion for the earth but the idea of completing a wine trail in honor of earth day just sounds like great Spring fun.

The Hudson Valley is known for its wineries, almost all of them are a destination for people visiting the area. They are also places where we locals enjoy kicking back with friends and taking in the scenery. Sometimes it is fun to be a tourist for a day. After all, we live in the most amazing place.

So how you can celebrate Earth Day with wines of the Hudson Valley by picking one of three Itineraries and heading out on a mini wine trail of your choice. Each of the planned Itineries will give you an opportunity to sample wine and plant a tree. The Shawangunk Wine Trail has arranged it so that at each stop, 4 in all you will receive a specialty tasting. You will also receive a white spruce tree sapling to plant and a souvenir glass with a wine charm to commemorate the day.
