Tis' the Season to Toast

Whether you’re heading to a friend’s holiday party or sending a gift to a colleague, a bottle of delicious local wine is a gift people love to receive.  This year, the Chaddsford Tasting Room in Peddler’s Village is taking wine gifts to the next left, making it even easier to find a special gift. Pennsylvania’s Chaddford Winery is among a handful of wineries in the eastern United States who have achieved a national reputation for producing premium wines of world-class stature, and their Bucks County location in Lahaska makes it easy for all of us to take advantage!

One thing that I love about Chaddsford is that they make creating a custom private label easy and affordable for anyone, without high minimum order quantities or long turnarounds.  (more…)

One thing that I love about the holidays is finding the perfect gift for my loved ones, knowing I will see  huge smiles on their faces when they unwrap their big surprises.  In my opinion, giving is even more fun that getting!

While shopping during the holidays can be lots of fun, it can also turn into a frustrating experience when the perfect presents are hard to find.  Luckily, there are so many fabulously unique shops and talented craftsman in Bucks County to make the search more fun. In addition to fueling our communities, local shops offer the personal service and care to take the stress out of shopping.

This year, take a look at the Bucks Happening Holiday Gift Guide to find those extra-special gifts to make 2010 the best holiday yet! (more…)

Pairing Bucks County's Wines with Thanksgiving Dinner

Posted in Central Bucks, Cooking, Food & Drink, Holiday Fun, Lahaska/Peddler’s Village, Lower Bucks, New Hope, Shopping, Washington Crossing, Wine, Beer, & Cocktails, Wycombe | 1 comment

While food may be the star of Thanksgiving Day, an extra special array of drinks can greatly enhance the holiday.  In Bucks, we are lucky to be surrounded by a trail of local vineyards with fine, hand-crafted wines.  Scattered across the county, you can find just about any type of wine to pair with your meal- dry, sweet, white, red.

Best of all, as Thanksgiving marks the end of the harvest season, it makes perfect sense to mark the occasion with one of Bucks County’s newly released harvest wines.  Read more about Harvest Wines and other popular pairing options for Thanksgiving dinner as recommended by local experts. (more…)

Gobble Gobble!  Thanksgiving officially marks the start of the holiday season. And since things are always hectic we figured we could make it easy by giving you the inside scoop. It’s most important to focus on all that you are thankful for, but of course that comes with a great meal and some fun activities (you know falling asleep on the couch after dinner with football in the background). Bucks County is no stranger to the tradition and there is plenty of going on.

GIVE BACK:

Black Tuesday – Make your holiday purchases early and stock up on goodies for your Thanksgiving celebration on Tuesday, November 23rd from 6-9pm! Help support local mom crafters and businesses as well as raise money for a local charity. There will be vendor tables, a basket raffle (including a BeMe Box!) and a refreshment booth. Proceeds from the raffle and refreshments go to Quilts for Kids. The event will be held at the Yardley Community Center. (more…)
