The West Coast isn\u2019t the only region for wine. Here are a few destinations to explore on the East Coast, as reported in the Spring\/Summer edition of Delaware Bride<\/a> magazine:<\/strong><\/p>\n

\"HFH_Gala2013_sansebastian\"<\/a>St. Augustine\/Ponte Vedra Beach, Fla.<\/strong>\u00a0He loves the links. She loves the drinks. This laid-back destination in northern Florida will keep them both happy. The PLAYERS <\/a>\u00a0Championship will be held May 6-11 in Ponte Vedra at the stadium course at TPC Sawgrass. (More on that in a future post.)<\/p>\n

The event includes Wine & Dine on 9, in which\u00a0<\/b>fans can nibble gourmet small plates in a garden setting prepared by Mathew Medure, one of Northeast Florida\u2019s celeb chefs. Wine & Dine on 9 also is home to the Beringer Wine Bar, serving for a selection of reds, whites and ros\u00e9s. In addition,\u00a0TPC Sawgrass offers an award-winning wine list and won the \u201cWine Spectator Award of Excellence\u201d by Wine Spectator five years running, from 2008-2012.<\/p>\n

The World Golf<\/a> Hall of Fame is in St. Augustine, a chip shot from San Sebastian<\/a> Winery, home to The Cellar Upstairs, a rooftop jazz club, and a super wine shop for connoisseurs.<\/p>\n

Finger Lakes Region, N.Y.<\/strong>\u00a0There are more than 100 wineries<\/a> and breweries in upstate New York, most open year-round. Celebrated trails include Seneca Lake, Keuka Lake and Cayuga Lake, which pour on the scenery in addition to wines. Tour on your own or by party bus. Accommodations range from tiny bed-and-breakfast inns to large resorts and spas.<\/p>\n

\"biltmore_winery_building\"<\/a>Asheville, N.C.<\/strong>\u00a0Entry to Biltmore<\/a> Winery and Antler Village is included in admission to Biltmore Mansion, historic home to the Vanderbilts and the largest residence in America. There are a half-dozen other wineries in the foothills of the Blue Ridge Mountains, including Lake James Cellars, located in an old textile mill, and Addison Farms, where grapes grow in a former tobacco field.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
