UPDATE (8/7/16): The Upper Hudson Valley Wine Trail's "Wine & Rails" event, scheduled for August 20, has added several more beverage makers to its vendor lineup. They include Adirondack Brewery, Common Roots Brewing, and High Rock Distillery.(Originally published 7/27/16)
The Upper Hudson Valley Wine Trail, a fairly new organization that has been doing some imaginative marketing, has come up with something called the "Wine & Rails" festival, taking advantage of member wineries and a short-line railroad.
The event is scheduled for noon to 5 p.m. Saturday, August 20. Participants will have the option of taking a scenic train ride on the Saratoga and North Creek Railway that culminates at the festival (and return on the same travel mode), or they can go directly to the station for the farmer's market-style festivities.
In addition to sampling a diverse line of locally-made wines from souvenir tasting glasses, ticket holders will be able to sample a variety of locally made foods. Wines and foods will be available for purchase at the festival site inn North Creek. Details about where to catch the train and other pertinent items such as ticket prices are available online.
