Join Bishops Hill on November 8 at 1 PM as we celebrate Saint Martin’s Day and the annual Blessing of the New Wine. Saint Martin's Day marks the time when newly fermented young wine, or "must," is traditionally blessed and opened for the first time. This custom is particularly popular in Central and Eastern European wine regions, where it symbolizes the end of the harvest season. Enjoy a tasting of the new wine, tours of the castle and grounds, and music by Sinovi.
