Illinois’ Galena holds Wine Lovers Trek 2010

Hey up there in my old stopping grounds - how’s the weather been? Having spent the first 3 decades of my life among you, I know that feeling that sets in around now…

The grey skies have closed in, your crisp, cold breath lingers on the air too long, whatever powder remains is stained with city life & everyday hassle. Things just feel long, cold, hard - winter. And you begin to not just yearn for spring, but ache for it.

Have no fear… spring is just around the corner, and to get things off to the right start, take a road trip out to Galena March 26 - 28th.

Not only will you have the beautiful rolling scenery, but you’ll end up in Galena just in time for their Wine Lovers Trek!

For the 5th year, the grand old town of Galena is hosting the community-wide celebration of good wine, good food & good friends! This 3-day event is filled with fine wines, culinary delights & celebrity chefs, all brimming with the heart of lovely Galena. 

There is the SOLD OUT Grand Tasting & Wine Auction that gets the weekend off right. Ok, so it is SOLD OUT - you’ll miss the more than 300 wines that will be sampled. Not fun & a bit teasing - you know, the missing out part.

So… make your plans for the 6th annual weekend & get your tickets now! The 2011 Grand Tasting is Friday, March 25th. 

But… you can still enjoy the delights, delicious, & de-lovelies of this wine weekend. Wine dinners, wine tastings & wine-themed activities abound throughout Galena. From romance to personal indulgence, from friend-friendly enjoyment to sweet & special, there is something for everyone. 

For a full list of activities and events, visit the Wine Lovers Weekend site & set your sights on Galena.
