In March 2018, the Vermont Fresh Network coordinated the first ever Vermont Wine Week. This year, they're planning something a little different-- a Fall Wine Dinner Series. A couple events have already taken place, but there are several coming up in late October and early November. Stay tuned for more details and be sure to put these on your calendar!
