Al fresco wine tasting says farewell to summer

MILFORD, PA — The Laurel Villa Country Inn & Restaurant will bid goodbye to the summer season with its annual International Wine Festival on Friday, August 31 at 7:00 p.m. The event will be held under the stars on the Laurel Villa’s patio and lawn, adjacent to its formal English gardens and koi pond, at 2nd and Ann streets.

Ivan Mines of Southern Wines & Spirits will present and describe six wines from around the world. Featured at the event will be Torres Tempranillo and Torres Vina Esmerelda from Spain, Haras de Pirque Sauvignon Blanc and Cabernet Sauvignon from Chile, Erath Pinot Noir from Oregon and Indian Wells Riesling from Washington State.

Chef Carl will create six matching dishes to complement each of the wines.

“Three serving stations will decorate the grounds,” said Janice Halsted, innkeeper at the Laurel Villa, “and guests will be able to wander at their leisure from country to country sampling its wines and cuisine.”

Seating for the “International Wine Festival” is limited, and reservations, at $55 per person, should be made by Sunday, August 26.
