MANCHESTER, NH – New Hampshire Wine Week is almost here and Manchester Ink Link has put together a comprehensive, online event listing so you won’t miss a thing. Hosted by the New Hampshire Liquor Commission, Wine Week 2016 will run from January 25 through January 31 and feature a wide variety of events featuring 60 winemakers from around the globe.
Now in its 11th year, Wine Week truly offers something for everyone, from intimate winemaker dinners, seminars, to complimentary bottle signings and wine tastings. Through all of these events you have the wonderful opportunity to meet the people — the farmers —behind some of the best wines in the world.
“Along with unprecedented access to some of the biggest names in the wine world, what is so exciting about NH Wine Week is that wine aficionados and novices alike have the opportunity to explore a wide range of wines and styles,” said Nicole Brassard Jordan, NHLC Director of Sales, Marketing, Merchandising and Warehousing in a press release.
While Wine Week offers events throughout New Hampshire, we narrowed the event listing to include only Manchester, Nashua, Concord and Salem. For the complete listing that includes all winemaker dinners, seminars, and complimentary bottle signings and wine tastings on the seacoast, Monadnock region, and elsewhere, click here.
The highlight of Wine Week is the 13th Annual Easter Seals Winter Wine Spectacular on January 28. This is the largest wine tasting in northern New England and it sells out every year. For more information on the Winter Wine Spectacular or to buy tickets, click here.
