2 wine trails hosting-wine-and-pasta weekend events

Wine and pasta are a classic complementary pair. So, it's no surprise that at least two New York State wine trail organizations are building special events around the two. And, neither will be postponed if the weather is bad.

First up is the Seneca Lake Wine Trail's long "Pasta & Wine Weekend," set for Friday-Sunday next week (March 24-26).

The self-guided tour can take visitors to as many as 27 participating wineries to sample a variety of pasta dishes and wines produced by the individual venues. Regular tickets purchased in advance are $40 per person. A list of wineries plus other details and ticketing information is available online.

Then, on the weekend of April 8-9, "Pasta Primo Vino" returns to the Shawangunk Wine Trail. Fifteen member wineries will participate in the annual event, which also is a self-guided tour beginning at any of the wineries where visitors will be able to taste a variety of dishes and wines.

Tickets are available for the full weekend, or for Sunday only. Reservations, participant list, and other details are available online.
