St. Patrick's Day/Brunch With The Bunny: What's Happening In SJ?

Here's a look at some upcoming events, courtesy our friends at Visit South Jersey:

Dandelion Release Party
April 7 & 8 | 12 PM - 5 PM
Bellview Winery, Landisville

This time of year brings more than just a bud break in Bellview Winery's Vineyard; it also brings a new vintage of Dandelion Wine that will be available to the public for tasting and purchase this weekend! Alongside their newest vintage, Bellview will be tasting some Dandelion Wines that have been aging in the cellar for quite some time so that guests can taste the dramatic changes in flavor that occur over time with this unique wine. Throughout the day, the winery will be holding several tours of the vineyard as the vines begin to wake up from their long winter slumber. Grab a wine lover and come to Bellview to experience something different!
