Wine Trails Not Just For California Anymore
Recently the Alabama Wine Trail opened to some controversy. The winery trail, which offers a map to the state's eight wineries has run afoul of a Baptist group which is against the promotion of alcohol. Wineries are driving increased tourism to unlikely places. While California is still the top wine tourism stop in the U.S. and Oregon and Washington are quickly gaining ground, the rest of the country is also working hard to lure wine tourists. With travel expenses running higher and higher, these destinations might be more appealing to those looking for a shorter trip closer to home. New York's Finger Lakes region has a number of different wine trails but some other winery trails are located in Iowa, Indiana and Virgina. Check out our gallery below for a look at wine trails around the country.

The Brandwine Valley Wine Trail in Pennsylvania offers a wide variety of award-winning wines. The seven wineries comprising the Brandywine Valley Wine Trail also offer fun social events like concerts, outdoor cookouts, annual dinners, and barrel tastings. Located less than an hour outside of both Philadelphia and Lancaster, PA, the wineries are convenient to airports in both cities, outlet shopping, Amish country, and historic sites.
