BEAVER ― Grape news, wine lovers: Beaver Wine Fest returns Sept. 9.

Lasting from 3-7 p.m., the annual event on Third Street gives adults a Riesling (or Rosé) to stroll through the Beaver business district to sample all types of wines from Pennsylvania producers.

Will there be a wide variety of wines to sip? You bet Shiraz there will.

Full bottles will be sold, also.

Confirmed wineries that will participate:

Kavic Winery, Carnegie.

Courtyard Winery, North East, Pa.

Fitzgibbon Meadery, Ellwood City.

Wine O’clock Somewhere Winery, South Park Township.

Glatz Wine Cellars Inc., Aliquippa.

"There are still more that might be participating, so I am hoping that we can secure a few more," event planner Jamie McIntosh said.

Tickets cost $35 at eventbrite.com, which includes a gift bag.

"This year, there will be new and exciting giveaways: a two-bottle tote bag, a stemless wine glass, and a wine stopper," McIntosh said. "There will be a DJ, and Papa Duke’s food truck, and most stores will be open with extended hours."

The Beaver Area Chamber of Commerce hosts the event.
